13 And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
14 And their herdsmen fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened.
15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid.
16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.
17 And they began to urge him to depart from their region.
18 And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore him that he could go with him.
19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your home to your people and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and that he has had mercy on you.”
