31 And the demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine." 32 And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.
If Jesus would not have left that place, town, village, he more than likely would have been murdered, crucified, slain; why? If I were a businessman running a business of herding pigs and I had been doing it for awhile and I built up my herd and all of a sudden this guy comes in and somehow causes the whole herd to drown themselves, what am I going to do? Those pigs aren't coming back. Why didn't he run the cows in the and leave my pigs alone! hehe.
