In context
29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.
