Healing of the Demoniac

Jesus and His disciples continue to sail and arrive at Gerasa. A wild man on the shore growls at their approach. Jesus hurries toward him, ahead of His disciples. The man threatens Jesus with the rock. But Jesus just continues to stare at him. The man calls Jesus by name and declares Him to be the Son of God. Jesus asks him his name. At first the man won't say. But Jesus holds out a hand to him. He says his name is Legion. He begs not to be sent back to the abyss. Instead, he wants to go into a nearby herd of pigs. Jesus puts a hand out to the pigs.
