8. For Jesus was commanding, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!
9. And He asked him, What is your name? He replied, My name is Legion, for we are many.
10. And he kept begging Him urgently not to send them [himself and the other demons] away out of that region.
11. Now a great herd of hogs was grazing there on the hillside.
12. And the demons begged Him, saying, Send us to the hogs, that we may go into them!
13. So He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out [of the man] and entered into the hogs; and the herd, numbering about 2,000, rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14. The hog feeders ran away, and told [it] in the town and in the country. And [the people] came to see what it was that had taken place.
