29. For Yeshua was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30. Yeshua asked him, “What is your name?”He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31. They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32. Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33. The demons came out of the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
34. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35. People went out to see what had happened. They came to Yeshua and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Yeshua’s feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36. Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37. All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
