31. And they begged [Jesus] not to command them to depart into the Abyss (bottomless pit). [Rev. 9:1.]
32. Now a great herd of swine was there feeding on the hillside; and [the demons] begged Him to give them leave to enter these. And He allowed them [to do so].
33. Then the demons came out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep cliff into the lake and were drowned.
34. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told it in the town and in the country.
35. And [people] went out to see what had occurred, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right (sound) mind; and they were seized with alarm and fear.
