New Testament

Luke 8:30-40 Modern English Version (MEV)

30. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”He said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him.

31. And they begged Him not to command them to go out into the abyss.

32. There was a large herd of swine feeding on the mountain. They begged Him to permit them to enter them, and He permitted them.

33. Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the country.

35. Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

36. Those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.

37. Then the whole crowd from the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So He went into the boat and returned.

38. Now the man from whom the demons had departed asked Him if he could stay with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

39. “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

40. When Jesus returned, the crowd gladly received Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
