Two Men

28And when he came to the other side, into the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so extremely fierce that no one was able to pass along that road.

29And behold, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here before the appointed time to torment us?”

30A large herd of pigs was feeding some distance away from them.

31And the demons kept begging him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32And he said to them, “Go.” Then they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33Then the herdsmen fled, and going away into the city, they reported everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to depart from their region.
