28 When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

29 And behold, they cried out, »What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?«

30 Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

31 And the demons begged him, »If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.«

32 And he said to them, »Go.« So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the water.

33 Then those who kept them fled, and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.
