9. Jesus asked, “What is your name?”The man answered, “My name is Lots, because I have ‘lots’ of evil spirits.”
10. He then begged Jesus not to send them away.
11. Over on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
12. So the evil spirits begged Jesus, “Send us into those pigs! Let us go into them.”
13. Jesus let them go, and they went out of the man and into the pigs. The whole herd of about two thousand pigs rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
14. The men taking care of the pigs ran to the town and the farms to spread the news. Then the people came out to see what had happened.
15. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had once been full of demons. He was sitting there with his clothes on and in his right mind, and they were terrified.
