Stone Those Who Prophesy Against Yahweh
13 “[a](A)If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘(B)Let us walk after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is (C)testing you to find out if (D)you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 (E)You shall walk after Yahweh your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and (F)cling to Him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be (G)put to death because he has [b]counseled [c]rebellion against Yahweh your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of [d]slavery, (H)to drive you from the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. (I)So you shall purge the evil from among you.
Jesus Saves Men from Demons
28 (A)And when He came to the other side, into the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were (B)demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “[a](C)What do we have to do with You, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the [b]time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. 31 And the demons began to plead with Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And coming out, they went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. 33 Now the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, [c]including what had happened to the (D)demoniacs. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, (E)they pleaded with Him to leave their region.
