Contextual Overview

22One day, Jesus jumped in a boat and they headed for the other side of the lake. 23As they sailed, Jesus put his hat down over his eyes and went to sleep. A huge storm swept in and they were about to be capsized. 24The disciples were frettin' and fearin' that this was gonna be the end of them all. They finally woke Jesus up by shakin' him and saying, "Jesus, save us! We're gonna drown!"Jesus got up, stretched, and told the wind to shut up and the waves to sit down . . . and they did. 25He asked them, "Where is your faith during the storm?"The hands were shocked, stunned, and amazed and asked, "What kind of hombre is this? Even the wind and the waves listen at him!" 26The next day, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes on other side of the lake. 27They had no more than got both feet on the ground when a naked man possessed by an evil spirit started trotting out of the cemetery to go and talk to them. He lived among the tombs because he wouldn't stay in a house. 28When he saw Jesus, he ran out and bowed real low in front of him. With an unearthly shriek, he yelled, "Why have you come to stop me, Son of God? By God's good name, please don't torture me." 29Jesus had already told the spirit to leave the man. When he was put in chains and shackles, he snapped them like paper. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Then the demon would force the man into the desert. 30Jesus asked, "What do they call you?"The demon responded, "They call me Legion. We are too many to count." 31They begged Jesus not to send them to hell.
