32. Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the hill, and they implored him that he would permit them to enter into those pigs. And he permitted them.
33. So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
34. And when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
35. So they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting there clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
36. And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
37. And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they had been seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
38. And the man from who the demons had gone out was begging him to stay with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40. Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
41. And behold, a man who was named Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and began imploring him to come to his house,
42. because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.
