The scroll keepers from Village of Peace (Jerusalem) were there also. “He stands with Worthless Ruler (Beelzebul),” they accused him, “for his power to force out evil spirits comes from the one who rules over them.”
So he gave them permission. The unclean spirits then came out of the man and entered into the herd of about two thousand pigs. Then the whole herd stampeded down the mountainside headlong into the lake and drowned in the deep water, making a frightful scene.
Then Creator Sets Free (Jesus) asked, “What is the name of the spirit you represent?” “Our name is Many Soldiers,” the evil spirits answered, “for our numbers are great.” The spirits feared Creator Sets Free (Jesus) and knew he could force them out of the man.
