Luke 8:32 In-Context

30 So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered into him.

31 And they began imploring him that he would not order them to depart into the abyss.

32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the hill, and they implored him that he would permit them to enter into those [pigs]. And he permitted them.

33 So the demons came out of the man [and] entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.

34 And [when] the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and reported [it] in the town and in the countryside.
