Luke 8:37 in Context — Luke 8

35 Les gens allèrent voir ce qui était arrivé. Ils vinrent auprès de Jésus, et ils trouvèrent l’homme de qui étaient sortis les démons, assis à ses pieds, vêtu, et dans son bon sens; et ils furent saisis de frayeur.

36 Ceux qui avaient vu ce qui s’était passé leur racontèrent comment le démoniaque avait été guéri.

37 Tous les habitants du pays des Géraséniens prièrent Jésus de s’éloigner d’eux, car ils étaient saisis d’une grande crainte. Jésus monta dans la barque, et s’en retourna.

38 L’homme de qui étaient sortis les démons lui demandait la permission de rester avec lui. Mais Jésus le renvoya, en disant:

39 Retourne dans ta maison, et raconte tout ce que Dieu t’a fait. Il s’en alla, et publia par toute la ville tout ce que Jésus avait fait pour lui.
