Mark 5:8-14

⁸Jesus said to the spirit, “Leave the man! Go away!”

⁹Jesus asked the man, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is 'Many'. We are many spirits.”

¹⁰They were asking him, “Do not send us from this country.”

¹¹On that rise there were pigs, many of them, 2,000, they were eating green grass.

¹²The spirits begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs. How about it? Can we go into them?”

¹³He said to them, “Yes, you can go to the pigs.” Right then they left that man, they all went to the pigs, the spirits went into them. Right then all the pigs ran down from the hill, they went straight into the water, they died in the water.

¹⁴The people who looked after the pigs scattered, they ran away afraid. They told many from the town and country. After that many came to see.
