As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon- possessed asked if he could go with him.But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him,“ Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.”So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed.

Then all the people of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside!

The LORD is great and certainly worthy of praise! No one can fathom his greatness!One generation will praise your deeds to another, and tell about your mighty acts!I will focus on your honor and majestic splendor, and your amazing deeds!They will proclaim the power of your awesome acts! I will declare your great deeds!They will talk about the fame of your great kindness, and sing about your justice.The LORD is merciful and compassionate; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.The LORD is good to all, and has compassion on all he has made.All he has made will give thanks to the LORD. Your loyal followers will praise you.They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom; they will tell about your power,so that mankind might acknowledge your mighty acts, and the majestic splendor of your kingdom.

Revere the LORD your God, serve him, be loyal to him and take oaths only in his name.He is the one you should praise; he is your God, the one who has done these great and awesome things for you that you have seen.

They were only hearing,“ The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news of the faith he once tried to destroy.”So they glorified God because of me.

Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.

You are to tell your son on that day,‘ It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’It will be a sign for you on your hand and a memorial on your forehead, so that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.

even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,and our Lord’s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done!

What we have heard and learned– that which our ancestors have told us–we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.He established a rule in Jacob; he set up a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.

I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far,

You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance.( Selah)

When you enter the land that the LORD will give to you, just as he said, you must observe this ceremony.When your children ask you,‘ What does this ceremony mean to you?’–then you will say,‘ It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, when he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck Egypt and delivered our households.’” The people bowed down low to the ground,

In the future, when your son asks you‘ What is this?’ you are to tell him,‘ With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the land of slavery.When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to release us, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of people to the firstborn of animals. That is why I am sacrificing to the LORD the first male offspring of every womb, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.’It will be for a sign on your hand and for frontlets on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”

O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength, and those coming after me about your power.

I will tell of the faithful acts of the LORD, of the LORD’s praiseworthy deeds. I will tell about all the LORD did for us, the many good things he did for the family of Israel, because of his compassion and great faithfulness.He said,“ Certainly they will be my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their deliverer.Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.But they rebelled and offended his holy Spirit, so he turned into an enemy and fought against them.His people remembered the ancient times. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea, along with the shepherd of his flock? Where is the one who placed his holy Spirit among them,the one who made his majestic power available to Moses, who divided the water before them, gaining for himself a lasting reputation,who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land they did not stumble.

How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?

But Ananias replied,“ Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call on your name!”But the Lord said to him,“ Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”

The LORD’s deeds are great, eagerly awaited by all who desire them.His work is majestic and glorious, and his faithfulness endures forever.He does amazing things that will be remembered; the LORD is merciful and compassionate.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice,“ Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!”

I have asked the LORD for one thing– this is what I desire! I want to live in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the LORD and contemplate in his temple.
