Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men
When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
-
and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”
-
If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.
-
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
-
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
-
Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.
-
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
-
Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.
-
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
-
Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
-
The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
-
He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.

They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.
-
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
-
Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
-
Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?
-
Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
-
These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
-
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
-
He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man
They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
-
If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
-
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
-
Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
-
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
