Jesus Heals Two Demon-Possessed Men

28 When Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the [fn]Gergesenes, he was met by two demon-possessed men who had come out of the tombs. They were so fierce that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, “What do yoʋ have to do with us, [fn]Jesus, Son of God? Have yoʋ come here to torment us before the appointed time?” 30 Now at a distance from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding. 31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If yoʋ cast us out, [fn]let us go into the herd of pigs.” 32 He said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the [fn]herd of pigs, and behold, the whole herd [fn]of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water. 33 Those who had been feeding the pigs then ran off, went into the city, and reported everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to depart from their region.
