========================
Matthew 8:28-34
========================
28When he arrived at the
other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from
the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
29“What do you want with us,
Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the
appointed time?”
30Some distance from them a
large herd of pigs was feeding.
31The demons begged Jesus,
“If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32He said to them, “Go!” So
they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep
bank into the lake and died in the water.
33Those tending the pigs ran
off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to
the demon-possessed men.
34Then the whole town went
out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their
region.
