When he was arrived on the other side, in the country of the Gergesenes, two demoniacs met him starting out of the tombs with such fury, it was not safe for any body to pass that way. and they roar'd out, Jesus, thou son of God, what injury have we done you? are you come here to torment us before the time?

At their going out, a demoniac was brought in, who was dumb.

Then they brought to him a demoniac, who was both blind and dumb: and he cured him so effectually, that he recovered both his speech and his sight;

now there was in their synagogue a demoniack, who cried out, ah, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to torment us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.

In the evening, when the sun was set, they brought to him many diseased, and several demoniacks.

They arrived then to the other side of the sea, in the country of the Gadarenes. and as soon as Jesus was come out of the ship, he met a demoniack, who came from among the tombs, where he haunted, read more. no man being able to confine him, no not with chains: for having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had wrench'd his chains, and broke his fetters, so that no body could tame him. night and day he was in the mountains, howling among the tombs, and hacking his flesh with flints.

and crying with a loud voice, said, "what injury have I done you, Jesus, thou son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, not to torment me."

and one of the crowd answer'd, master, I have brought to you my son, who is possess'd with a dumb spirit, which no sooner comes on him, but it throws him down: then the child foams, gnashes his teeth, and grows meager. read more. then said Jesus, incredulous people, how long shall I be with you? must I be always assisting you? bring him before me. so he was brought to him, and as soon as he saw him, the spirit threw him into convulsions, and he fell upon the ground, where he wallowed foaming. Jesus then asked the father, how long is it since this befel him? from his infancy, said the father. it has frequently thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to the hazard of his life; if therefore you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe. immediately the child's father cryed out with tears, I do believe, oh supply the defect of my faith. Jesus observing the people came crowding to him, rebuked the evil spirit, saying, thou dumb and deaf spirit come out of the child, never to enter more, it is I command it. and the spirit came out of him, having made him roar, and thrown him into such agonies, that he became like one that was dead, and many were of opinion he actually was so. but Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up, and he was perfectly recovered.

they that believe shall be endued with these miraculous gifts: in my name they shall cast out demons: they shall speak new languages: they shall handle serpents, and if they drink any mortal poison, it shall do them no hurt: they shall lay hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover.

At length he came down the hill with them, and stayed with the rest of his disciples in the plain, where a great multitude of people from all Judea, from Jerusalem, and the maritime country of Tyre and Sidon, came to hear him, and to have their diseases cured. many that were tormented by evil spirits came likewise, and were cured.

but the evil spirit said to them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"
