Mark

Mark 5:11–14

¹¹There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. ¹²So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

¹³He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.^b

¹⁴Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
