Matthew, Chapter 8, verses 28-34

²⁸When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,⁴ 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.
