11. Now a large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside.
12. The demons begged Him, “Send us to the pigs, so we may enter them.”
13. And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.
14. The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened.
15. They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16. The eyewitnesses described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and told about the pigs.
17. Then they began to beg Him to leave their region.
