Matthew 8:31 in Context — Matthew 8
29 E eis que gritaram, dizendo: Que temos contigo, Jesus, Filho de Deus? Vieste aqui nos atormentar antes do tempo?
30 Enquanto isso longe deles estava uma manada de muitos porcos pastando.
31 E os demônios rogaram-lhe, dizendo: Se nos expulsares, permite-nos entrar naquela manada de porcos.
32 E ele lhes disse: Ide. Então eles saíram, e entraram na manada de porcos; e eis que toda aquela manada de porcos se lançou de um precipício ao mar, e morreram nas águas.
33 E os que cuidavam dos porcos fugiram; e ao chegarem à cidade, anunciaram todas [estas] coisas, inclusive o que [havia acontecido] aos endemoninhados.
