*
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes ,
there met him two possessed with devils ,
coming out of the tombs ,
exceeding fierce ,
so that no man might pass by that way .
*
And ,
behold ,
they cried out ,
saying ,
What have we to do with thee ,
Jesus ,
thou Son of God ?
art thou come hither to torment us before the time ?
*
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding .
*
So the devils besought him ,
saying ,
If thou cast us out ,
suffer us to go away into the herd of swine .
*
And he said unto them ,
Go .
And when they were come out ,
they went into the herd of swine :
and ,
behold ,
the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea ,
and perished in the waters .
*
And they that kept them fled ,
and went their ways into the city ,
and told every thing ,
and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils .
*
And ,
behold ,
the whole city came out to meet Jesus :
and when they saw him ,
they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts .
