One day, our Lord Jesus Christ came ashore in the country of the Gergesenes. As He passed a by a graveyard, two men came out from between the tombs. These men had demons that made them act mean, and people usually could not pass there.

When the men saw Jesus, they said, “What do you want to do with us, Son of God? Are you going to tease or hurt us?”

Nearby, a big herd of pigs was feeding on a hill. The demons in the men begged Jesus, “If you make us leave these men, let us go into the herd of pigs.”

Jesus just said, “Go!” and the demons left the men. They went into the pigs. Then the whole herd of pigs ran down the steep hill and into the sea. All the pigs in the herd died.

The people who had been watching over the herd ran away. They went into the city and told all about what had just happened to the men. The whole city came out to meet Jesus!

1. The men with demons asked Jesus a question. What did they ask?

2. They knew that Jesus had power of them because Jesus is God.

3. What did Jesus see when he looked around?

4. The men with demons knew Jesus would take them from the men. Where did they ask to go?

5. Did Jesus do what the demons asked? What happened then?

6. Jesus has power over all that is.
