Matthew 8:23-28

New King James Version

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus^(A)

²³ Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. ^24 (B)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

²⁶ But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then ^(C)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷ So the men marveled, saying, ^[a]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed^(D)

^28 (E)When He had come to the other side, to the country of the ^[b]Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
