Matthew 8:28-34
Revised Geneva Translation
28 And when He had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with demons met Him there, who came very fiercely out of the graves, so that no one could go near there.
29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “Jesus, the Son of God! What have we to do with You!? Have you come here to torment us before the time!?”
30 Now, there was a great herd of swine, feeding far away from them.
31 And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, let us to go into the herd of swine!”
32 And He said to them, “Go!” So, they went out and departed into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran headlong into the sea and died in the water.
33 Then the herdsmen fled. And when they had come into the city, they told all things, and what had become of those who were possessed with the demons.
34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from that region.

New International Version
Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men(A)
28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[a] two demon-possessed(B) men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us,(C) Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”(D)
30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.(E)
