This is one of the most vivid stories in the New Testament about how Jesus has an impact in driving the demented and destructive spirits out of people. The demoniacs are possessed by evil spirits intent on destroying the people they possess. In a very Jewish way, the demons are sent to live in the loathed pigs whom they destroy. But the effect Jesus has is to cleanse and renew and bring toile what had been disordered by bad spirits.
