²⁸And there met him, when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding dangerous, so that no one was able to pass by that way. ²⁹And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Son of God? hast thou come here before the time to torment us? ³⁰Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding; ³¹and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. ³²And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters. ³³But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons. ³⁴And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts.
