7. Crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What’s between You and me, Yeshua, Ben El Elyon? I’m warning you, in the name of God, do not torment me!”
8. For Yeshua had said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9. Then Yeshua began questioning him, “What is your name?” And he answered, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10. He kept begging Him not to send them out of the country.
11. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
12. The unclean spirits urged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs, so we may enter them.”
13. So Yeshua gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. And the herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the cliff and were drowned in the sea.
14. The herdsmen ran away and told the town and countryside, and they came to see what had happened.
15. Now they came to Yeshua and saw the madman who had had the legion. He was sitting there, dressed in clothes and in his right mind. The people were scared.
16. Those who had seen it described in detail what had happened to the man plagued by a demon, and they also told about the pigs.
17. And they began to beg Yeshua to leave their country.
18. As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been infested with demons kept begging to remain with Him.
