Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹⁴ And then Jesus went to Peter’s house, and saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever, ¹⁵ and touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and ministered to them.

¹⁶ When the evening was come, people brought to him many who were possessed with devils. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, ¹⁷ to fulfil that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took on him our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.

²⁸ When Jesus had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two men possessed by devils met him, coming out from among the graves. They were out of measure fierce, so that no one could pass by that way. ²⁹ And behold, they cried out, saying, O Jesus, Son of God, what have we to do with you? Have you come here to torment us before the time be come?

³⁰ And a good way off from them there was a great herd of swine feeding. ³¹ Then the devils besought him, saying, If you cast us out, let us go our way into the herd of swine. ³² And he said to them, Go your ways. Then they went out and dispersed into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

³³ Then the herdsmen fled, and went their ways into the town and told everything, and what had happened to the men possessed by the devils. ³⁴ And all the town came out and met Jesus. And when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their shores.
