30 A long way off from them, a herd of many swine was feeding.+ 31 So the demons began to plead with him, saying: “If you expel us, send us into the herd of swine.”+ 32 And he said to them: “Go!” With that they came out and went off into the swine, and look! the entire herd rushed over the precipice* into the sea and died in the waters. 33 But the herders fled, and going into the city, they reported everything, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

32 Now a large herd of swine+ was feeding there on the mountain, so they pleaded with him to permit them to enter into the swine, and he gave them permission.+ 33 With that the demons came out of the man and went into the swine, and the herd rushed over the precipice* into the lake and drowned. 34 But when the herders saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
