28 Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.
29 They shouted, Jesus, Son of God, what do you want to do to us? Have you come here to punish us before it is our time?
30 Many pigs were eating in a place far from them.
31 The bad spirits begged Jesus, If you drive us out of these men, let us go into the pigs.
32 Jesus said, Go! The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.
33 The men who cared for the pigs ran to the town. They told everything and what had happened to the men who had the bad spirits.
34 All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country
