Matthew:8:28-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And upon his coming to the other side ,
into the country of the Gergesenes ,
two men being demon possessed met him ,
coming out of the sepulchers ,
exceedingly fierce ,
so that no man could pass by that way .
*
And behold ,
they cried out ,
saying ,
What is with us and thee ,
Jesus ,
Son of God ?
Did thou come here before the time to torment us ?
*
Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding .
*
And the demons besought him ,
saying ,
If thou cast us out ,
allow us to go away into the herd of swine .
*
And he said to them ,
Go .
And having come out ,
they went into the herd of swine .
And behold ,
the whole herd of the swine stampeded down the slope into the sea ,
and perished in the waters .
*
And those who tended them fled ,
and having gone into the city ,
they told everything ,
also the things of the men being demon possessed .
*
And behold ,
the whole city came out to a meeting with Jesus .
And having seen him ,
they besought him that he would depart from their regions .
