28When he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!”
29because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places).
30Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
31And he kept imploring Him that He would not order them to go away into the Abyss.
32Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so He gave them permission.
33Then the demons exited the man and entered the pigs—and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned!
34Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
35So they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed.
37Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.
