Matthew 8:34

Jesus
Fear

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.

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
