28 When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

29 Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

30 There was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

31 The demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

32 He said to them, "Go." So they went out and entered into the swine. Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves.

33 The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

34 Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.
