Mark 5:14-17: "And
they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the
city, and in the country. And they went out to
see what it was that was done. And they come to
Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the
devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed,
and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And
they that saw it told them how it befell to him
that was possessed with the devil, and also
concerning the swine. And they began to pray him
to depart out of their coasts".
Matthew 8:33-34: "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.
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".
Luke 8:34-37: "When
they that fed them saw what was done, they fled,
and went and told it in the city and in the
country. Then they went out to see what was
done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out
of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the
feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind:
and they were afraid. They also which saw it
told them by what means he that was possessed of
the devils was healed.Then the whole multitude
of the country of the Gadarenes round about
besought him to depart from them; for they were
taken with great fear: and he went up into the
ship, and returned back again".
