The Two Demoniacs Of Gadara
57. Matt 8:28-34, 9:1
28 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. 29 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? 30
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many
swine feeding. 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou
cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32
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. 33 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. 34 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. Matt 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and
came into his own city.
