28: And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29: And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30: And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31: So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32: And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33: And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
34: And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
There are many that deny there is a devil or demons but here Jesus cast out two of them and they knew who Jesus was. Now look at verse 34, the whole city came out to meet Jesus and what did they ask him? They asked him to leave. Why do you think they asked him to leave? Many seem to think they were more interested in their lost herd of pigs than meeting Jesus the Savior. Maybe they didn’t believe Jesus was who he said was or maybe they really were more interested in possessions then the things of God. Well today there are plenty of people who know about Jesus but or more interested in the world then in serving God.
