17 Now, all the hills were filled with unclean animals that fed, and carried forth and spread the plague among the people of the land.
18 And when the evil spirits begged that they might not be driven forth without a home, the master said,
19 Go forth and take possession of the unclean quadrupeds.
20 And they, and all the evil spirits of the tombs went forth and took possession of the breeders of the plague,
21 Which, wild with rage, ran down the steeps into the sea, and all were drowned.
22 And all the land was freed of the contagion, and the unclean spirits came no more.
23 But when the people saw the mighty works that Jesus did they were alarmed. They said,
24 If he can free the country of the plague, and drive the unclean spirits out, he is a man of such transcendent power that he can devastate our land at will.
25 And then they came and prayed that he would not remain in Gadara.
26 And Jesus did not tarry longer there, and with the other masters and the twelve, he went aboard the boats to go away.
