Kwathi uJesu ebona isixuku simhaqile, wayala ukuba kuwelelwe ngaphesheya. Kwase kufika umbhali, wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, ngizakukulandela, noma uya ngaphi.”
UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Izimpungushe zinemigodi, nezinyoni zezulu zinezidleke, kepha iNdodana yomuntu kayinandawo, lapho ingacamelisa khona ikhanda.”
Kodwa omunye wabafundi bakhe wathi kuye: “Nkosi, ngivumele ngiye kuqala ukuyakummbela ubaba.”
Kepha uJesu wathi kuye: “Ngilandele; yeka abafileyo bembele abafileyo babo.”
Wayesengena emkhunjini; abafundi bakhe bamlandela. Bheka, kwavuka isiphepho esikhulu elwandle, umkhumbi waze wagujuzelwa ngamaza; kepha yena wayelele. Basondela, bamvusa, bathi: “Nkosi, sisindise, safa.”
Wayesethi kubo: “Nesabelani nina bokukholwa okuncane na?” Khona wavuka wakhuza umoya nolwandle, kwaba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
Kepha abantu bamangala, bathi: “Unjani lo ukuba nomoya nolwandle kumlalele na?”
Kwathi esefikile ngaphesheya ezweni lamaGadara, kwahlangana naye ababili abakhwelwe ngamademoni, bephuma emathuneni, beyizidlova ezinkulu ngangokuba kwakungedlule muntu ngaleyo ndlela. Bheka, bamemeza bathi: “Sinamsebenzi muni nawe Ndodana kaNkulunkulu? Uze lapha ukusizwisa ubuhlungu, kungakabi yiso isikhathi, na?”
Manje kwakukhona kude nabo umhlambi wezingulube eziningi ziklabile. Amademoni amncenga athi: “Uma usikhipha, sithume ukuba singene emhlambini wezingulube.”
Wathi kuwo: “Hambani.” Ayesephuma, angena ezingulubeni; bheka, umhlambi wonke wagulukudela eweni, waphonseka elwandle, wafela emanzini. Kodwa ababezalusa babaleka, baya emzini, babika konke, nalokho okwehlele abakhwelwe ngamademoni. Bheka, umuzi wonke waphuma ukuyomhlangabeza uJesu; bathe bembona, bamncenga ukuba amuke emikhawulweni yelakubo.
