Exorcism in the Gergesene Region

28

When Yeshua arrived at the other side of the lake, in the Gadarenes' territory, there came out of the burial caves two men controlled by demons, so violent that no one dared travel on that road.

29

They screamed, "What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

30

Now some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31

The demons begged him, "If you are going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

32

"All right, go!" he told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, whereupon the entire herd rushed down the hillside into the lake and drowned.

33

The swineherds fled, went off to the town and told the whole story, including what had happened to the demonized men.

34

At this, the whole town came out to meet Yeshua. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their district.
