30. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”He answered, “Legion,” because many demons were in him.
31. The demons begged Jesus not to send them into eternal darkness.
32. A large herd of pigs was feeding on a hill, and the demons begged Jesus to allow them to go into the pigs. So Jesus allowed them to do this.
33. When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd ran down the hill into the lake and was drowned.
34. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told about this in the town and the countryside.
35. And people went to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, because the demons were gone. But the people were frightened.
36. The people who saw this happen told the others how Jesus had made the man well.
37. All the people of the Gerasene country asked Jesus to leave, because they were all very afraid. So Jesus got into the boat and went back to Galilee.
