Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons

28When Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the area of the Gadarene n people, two men who had demons in them met him. These men lived in the burial caves and were so dangerous that people could not use the road by those caves. 29They shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the right time?”
