Then hee arose, and rebuked the winds and the Sea, and there was a great calme. 27But the men marueiled, saying, What maner of man is this, that euen the winds and the Sea obey him? 28¶ And when hee was come to the other side, into the countrey of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with deuils, comming out of the tombes, exceeding fierce, so that no man might passe by that way. 29And behold, they cryed out, saying, What haue we to doe with thee, Iesus thou sonne of God? Art thou come hither to torment vs befor þe time?
