*
When he arrived at the other side ,
the country of the Gadarenes ,
there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs .
They were very fierce ,
so that no one was able to pass along that road .
*
Suddenly they shouted , "
Son of God ,
what have you to do with us ?
Have you come here to torment us before the time ?"
*
There was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding .
*
The demons begged him , "
If you cast us out ,
send us into the herd of swine ."
*
He said to them ,
So they went out and entered into the swine .
Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves .
*
The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything ,
including what had happened to the demoniacs .
*
Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus ,
and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood .
