18Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
20He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
22One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
23As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
25“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
26Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
