Luke 8:32

Read in context

Luke 8:30–34 · Berean Standard Bible

30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31 And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32 There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33 Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
