32. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.
33. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
34. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35. Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
36. And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
38. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
40. Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
