So the demons kept imploring Him saying, “Since you are going to cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of pigs.”
32 Jesus said to them, “Go!” The demons came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep hill into the sea and they died in the water.
So He said to them, “Go!” And coming out they went off into the herd of pigs. And then—the whole herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water!
33 Those who had been tending the pigs ran away and they went into the city and reported everything, especially what had happened to the men who had been possessed by demons.
So the swineherds ran away, and going into the town they told everything, including about the demonized men.
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.
And then, the whole town went out to meet with Jesus; and upon seeing Him they begged Him to depart from their borders.
