Mark 5:11–20

¹¹Now there was there just at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding; ¹²and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them. ¹³And Jesus immediately allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea. ¹⁴And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place. ¹⁵And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid. ¹⁶And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine. ¹⁷And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts. ¹⁸And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him. ¹⁹And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee. ²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.
