35 And then he said, You men of faith, where is your faith? for you can speak and winds and waves will hear and will obey.
36 And the disciples were amazed. They said, Who is this man that even winds and waves obey his voice?
CHAPTER 118.
The Christines are in Gadara. Jesus casts a legion of unclean spirits out of a man. The spirits go into vicious animals which run into the sea, and are drowned. The people are in fear and request Jesus to leave their coast. With his disciples, he returns to Capernaum.
The morning came; the Christines landed in the country of the Geracenes.
2 They went to Gadara, chief city of the Peracans, and here for certain days they tarried and they taught.
3 Now, legends hold that Gadara is sacred to the dead, and all the hills about are known as holy ground.
4 These are the burial grounds of all the regions round about; the hills are full of tombs; and many dead from Galilee are here entombed.
5 Now, spirits of the lately dead that cannot rise to higher planes, remain about the tombs that hold the flesh and bones of what was once their mortal homes.
6 They sometimes take possession of the living, whom they torture in a hundred ways.
