Matthew

Matthew 8:28–33

²⁸When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,^f He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. 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?”

³⁰In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding. ³¹So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

³²“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

³³Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.
