Matthew:8:28-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When He had come to the other side ,
to the country of the Gergesenes ,
there met Him two demon-possessed men ,
coming out of the tombs ,
exceedingly fierce ,
so that no one could pass that way .
*
And suddenly they cried out ,
saying , "
What have we to do with You ,
Jesus ,
You Son of God ?
Have You come here to torment us before the time ?"
*
Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding .
*
So the demons begged Him ,
saying , "
If You cast us out ,
permit us to go away into the herd of swine ."
*
And He said to them , "
Go ."
So when they had come out ,
they went into the herd of swine .
And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea ,
and perished in the water .
*
Then those who kept them fled ;
and they went away into the city and told everything ,
including what had happened to the demon-possessed men .
*
And behold ,
the whole city came out to meet Jesus .
And when they saw Him ,
they begged Him to depart from their region .
