And when hee was come to the other side, into the countrey of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with deuils, comming out of the tombes, exceeding fierce, so that no man might passe by that way.

And behold, they cryed out, saying, What haue we to doe with thee, Iesus thou sonne of God? Art thou come hither to torment vs befor ye time?

And there was a good way off from them, an heard of many swine, feeding.

So the deuils besought him, saying, If thou cast vs out, suffer vs to goe away into the herd of swine.

And he said vnto them, Goe. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ranne violently downe a steepe place into the Sea, and perished in the waters.

And they that kept them, fled, and went their waies into the citie, and told euery thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the deuils.

And behold, the whole citie came out to meete Iesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that hee would depart out of their coasts.
