Luke 8:10-39.

Luke 8:19-39. (GNT)

19 "Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but were unable to join
him because of the crowd. 20 Someone said to Jesus, "Your mother and
brothers are standing outside and want to see you." 21 Jesus said to
them all, "My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God
and obey it." 22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and
said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So
they started out. 23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. Suddenly
a strong wind blew down on the lake, and the boat began to fill with
water, so that they were all in great danger. 24 The disciples went to
Jesus and woke him up, saying, "Master, Master! We are about to die!"
Jesus got up and gave an order to the wind and to the stormy water;
they quieted down, and there was a great calm. 25 Then he said to the
disciples, "Where is your faith?" But they were amazed and afraid, and
said to one another, "Who is this man? He gives orders to the winds
and waves, and they obey him!" 26 Jesus and his disciples sailed on
over to the territory of Gerasa, which is across the lake from
Galilee. 27 As Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the town
who had demons in him. For a long time this man had gone without
clothes and would not stay at home, but spent his time in the burial
caves. 28 When he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry, threw himself down at
his feet, and shouted, "Jesus, Son of the Most High God! What do you
want with me? I beg you, don't punish me!" 29 He said this because
Jesus had ordered the evil spirit to go out of him. Many times it had
seized him, and even though he was kept a prisoner, his hands and feet
tied with chains, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon
out into the desert. 30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name
is "Mob," " he answered—because many demons had gone into him. 31 The
demons begged Jesus not to send them into the abyss. 32 There was a
large herd of pigs near by, feeding on a hillside. So the demons
begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he let them. 33 They
went out of the man and into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the
side of the cliff into the lake and was drowned. 34 The men who had
been taking care of the pigs saw what happened, so they ran off and
spread the news in the town and among the farms. 35 People went out to
see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man
from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus,
clothed and in his right mind; and they were all afraid. 36 Those who
had seen it told the people how the man had been cured. 37 Then all
the people from that territory asked Jesus to go away, because they
were terribly afraid. So Jesus got into the boat and left. 38 The man
from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus, "Let me go with you."
But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 "Go back home and tell what God
has done for you." The man went through the town, telling what Jesus
had done for him."

Please say this prayer:

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray.

God bless you.
