Thematic Bible: The herd of swine

Now a large herd of [wild] hogs [i.e., about of them. See Mark 5:13] was grazing some distance away from them. So, the evil spirits [in one of the men. See Mark 5:1ff] begged Jesus, saying, "If you are going to drive us out [of this man], send us away into that herd of [wild] hogs." Jesus replied to them, "Go [ahead]." And they came out [of the man] and entered the [wild] hogs, and suddenly the entire herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned in the water [below].
