Matthew 8:28-34

281When He cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 into the countryG5561 of the GadarenesG1046, twoG1417 men who were 2demon-possessedG1139 metG5221 Him as they were comingG1831 out of the tombsG3419. They were so extremelyG3029 violentG5467 that noG3361 oneG5100 couldG2480 passG3928 by that wayG3598.

29And they criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, “34WhatG5101 business do we have with each other, SonG5207 of GodG2316? Have You comeG2064 hereG5602 to tormentG928 us beforeG4253 5the timeG2540?”

30NowG1161 there was a herdG34 of manyG4183 swineG5519 feedingG1006 at a distanceG3112 from them.

31The demonsG1142 began to entreatG3870 Him, sayingG3004, “IfG1487 You are going to castG1544 us out, sendG649 us into the herdG34 of swineG5519.”

32And He saidG3004 to them, “GoG5217!” And they cameG1831 out and wentG565 into the swineG5519, and the wholeG3956 herdG34 rushedG3729 downG2596 the steepG2911 bankG2911 into the seaG2281 and perishedG599 in the watersG5204.

33The herdsmenG1006 ranG5343 awayG5343, and wentG565 to the cityG4172 and reportedG518 everythingG3956, 6includingG2532 whatG3588 hadG3588 happenedG3588 to the 7demoniacsG1139.

34And beholdG2400, the wholeG3956 cityG4172 cameG1831 out to meetG5222 JesusG2424; and when they sawG3708 Him, 8they imploredG3870 Him to leaveG3327 their regionG3725.
