治好两个被鬼附身的人

28 耶稣到了对岸加大拉[a]人的地方,有两个被鬼附身的人从坟地里出来见祂。他们非常凶恶,没有人敢从那里经过。 29 他们喊着说:“上帝的儿子啊!我们和你有什么关系?时候还没有到,你就来叫我们受苦吗?”

30 当时,有一大群猪在附近吃食。 31 鬼就哀求耶稣:“如果你要赶我们出去,就让我们进入猪群吧!”

32 耶稣说:“去吧!”

于是,鬼从那二人身上出来,进入猪群,整群猪就一路奔下陡坡,冲进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人逃进城,把事情的经过以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告诉了城里的人。 34 于是,全城的人都出来见耶稣,见到后,便请求祂离开那地方。

  1. 8:28 加大拉”即格拉森地区。

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.
