Luke.8.24

They woke Jesus: "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" Getting to his feet, he told the wind, "Silence!" and the waves, "Quiet down!" They did it. The lake became smooth as glass.

Luke.8.25

Then he said to his disciples, "Why can't you trust me?" They were in absolute awe, staggered and stammering, "Who is this, anyway? He calls out to the winds and sea, and they do what he tells them!"

Luke.8.25

He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."

Luke.8.25

But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"

Luke.8.27

As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. Homeless and naked, he had lived in a cemetery for a long time.

Luke.8.28

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

Luke.8.28

When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell before him, and bellowed, "What business do you have messing with me? You're Jesus, Son of the High God, but don't give me a hard time!"

Luke.8.28

When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!"

Luke.8.29

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

Luke.8.29

(The man said this because Jesus had started to order the unclean spirit out of him.) Time after time the demon threw the man into convulsions. He had been placed under constant guard and tied with chains and shackles, but crazed and driven wild by the demon, he would shatter the bonds.

Luke.8.29

For Jesus had commanded the evil spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

Luke.8.29

For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

Luke.8.29

For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was shackled with chains, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon's power.

Luke.8.30

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Luke.8.30

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?Mob. My name is Mob," he said, because many demons afflicted him.

Luke.8.30

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"

Luke.8.30

Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.

Luke.8.30

"What is your name?" Jesus asked. "Legion," he replied--for the man was filled with many demons.

Luke.8.31

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Luke.8.31

And they begged Jesus desperately not to order them to the bottomless pit.

Luke.8.31

"Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

Luke.8.31

And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.

Luke.8.31

The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the Bottomless Pit.

Luke.8.32

And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

Luke.8.32

A large herd of pigs was browsing and rooting on a nearby hill. The demons begged Jesus to order them into the pigs. He gave the order.

Luke.8.32

A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.

Luke.8.32

Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.

Luke.8.32

A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons pleaded with him to let them enter into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission.

Luke.8.33

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

Luke.8.33

It was even worse for the pigs than for the man. Crazed, they stampeded over a cliff into the lake and drowned.

Luke.8.33

When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Luke.8.33

Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.

Luke.8.33

So the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake, where they drowned.

Luke.8.34

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

Luke.8.34

Those tending the pigs, scared to death, bolted and told their story in town and country.

Luke.8.34

When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,

Luke.8.34

When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.

Luke.8.34

When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby city and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.

Luke.8.35

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Luke.8.35

People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had been sent, sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing decent clothes and making sense. It was a holy moment, and for a short time they were more reverent than curious.

Luke.8.35

and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Luke.8.35

Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

Luke.8.35

A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, for they wanted to see for themselves what had happened. And they saw the man who had been possessed by demons sitting quietly at Jesus' feet, clothed and sane. And the whole crowd was afraid.

Luke.8.36

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

Luke.8.36

Then those who had seen it happen told how the demoniac had been saved.

Luke.8.36

Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured.

Luke.8.36

They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

Luke.8.36

Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

Luke.8.37

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

Luke.8.37

Later, a great many people from the Gerasene countryside got together and asked Jesus to leave--too much change, too fast, and they were scared. So Jesus got back in the boat and set off.

Luke.8.37

Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

Luke.8.37

Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

Luke.8.37

And all the people in that region begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them. So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.

Luke.8.38

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Luke.8.38

The man whom he had delivered from the demons asked to go with him, but he sent him back, saying,

Luke.8.38

The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Luke.8.38

Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

Luke.8.38

The man who had been demon possessed begged to go, too, but Jesus said,

Luke.8.39

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

Luke.8.39

"Go home and tell everything God did in you." So he went back and preached all over town everything Jesus had done in him.

Luke.8.39

"Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

Luke.8.39

"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

Luke.8.39

"No, go back to your family and tell them all the wonderful things God has done for you." So he went all through the city telling about the great thing Jesus had done for him.

Luke.8.40

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

Luke.8.40
