Luke 8:31-43
New American Standard Bible
32Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain; and the demons begged Him to permit them to enter the pigs. And He gave them permission.
33And the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34Now when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported everything in the city, and in the country.
35And the people came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.
36Those who had seen everything reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been made well.
37And all the people of the territory of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Him to leave them, because they were overwhelmed by great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39Return to your home and describe what great things God has done for you.' So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40And as Jesus was returning, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41And a man named Jairus came, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began urging Him to come to his house;
42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.
