Context of Luke 8:35

33The demons came out of the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned. 34When those who had taken care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away. They reported everything in the city and countryside. The people went to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. Dressed and in his right mind, he was sitting at Jesus’ feet. The people were frightened. 36Those who had seen this told the people how Jesus had restored the demon-possessed man to health. 37Then all the people from the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave because they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and started back.
