24. Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

25. They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"

26. He said to them,"Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27. The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

28. When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

29. Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

30. Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

31. The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

32. He said to them,"Go!"They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.

22. Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23. After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

24. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25. In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.see Job 9:8

26. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear.

27. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,"Cheer up! It is I!Don't be afraid."

28. Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

29. He said,"Come!"Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

30. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

31. Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him,"You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

32. When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

33. Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God!"

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin.Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

37. A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

38. He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

39. He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea,"Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

1. Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

2. He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3. He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

4. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,"Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."

5. Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net."

6. When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

7. They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

8. But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."

9. For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
