30 Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

31 And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

32 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave.
