30And Jesus asked him, 'What is your name?' And he said, 'Legion'; because many demons had entered him. 31And they were begging Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.
32Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain; and the demons begged Him to permit them to enter the pigs. And He gave them permission.
33And the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34Now when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported everything in the city, and in the country.
35And the people came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.
