Mark 5:9-14

⁹So, in order to expel the demon more easily, Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob because there are many of us evil spirits in this man.”

¹⁰Then the evil spirits fervently kept begging Jesus that he not send them out of the region.

¹¹At the same time, a large herd of pigs was ◄grazing/rooting for food► nearby on the hillside.

¹²So the evil spirits pleaded with Jesus, “Allow us to go to the pigs in order that we might enter them!”

¹³He permitted them to do that. So the evil spirits left the man and entered the pigs. The herd, which numbered about 2,000, rushed down the cliff into the lake, and drowned in the lake.

¹⁴The men who had been tending the pigs ran and reported in the town and the countryside what had happened. Many people went to see what had happened.
