26. They sailed over to the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side of the Galilee.
27. A demon-plagued man from the town met Yeshua as He was coming out onto the land. The man hadn’t worn any clothing for a long time and was living not in a house but in the tombs.
28. Seeing Yeshua, he cried out and fell down before Yeshua, and with a loud voice said, “What’s between You and me, Yeshua, Ben El Elyon? I’m begging You, do not torment me!”
29. For Yeshua commanded the defiling spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him so that, even though he was restrained and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demons into the desert.
30. Yeshua questioned him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he said, for many demons had entered him.
31. They kept begging Him not to command them to depart into the abyss.
32. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding on the mountain. The demons urged Yeshua to let them enter these pigs, and He gave them permission.
33. Then the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and was drowned.
