34. And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

35. And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the devils were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.
