M A R K CHAPTER 5* They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you evil spirit!”

“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” SO THE MAN BEGAN TO TELL HOW MUCH JESUS HAD DONE FOR HIM. And all the people were amazed.

Now a large herd of swine* was feeding there on the hillside. 12 And they pleaded with him, “Send us into the swine. Let us enter them.” 13 And he let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand rushed down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned. Deviled ham!

one of the most spectacular recorded!Imagine the spectacle of standing by as those noisy pigs rushed to their deaths--and those grateful demoniacs returned to life!

One could argue that pigs are better than people.
Humans will host, and indeed often invite, demons.
Pigs will not tolerate demons!

"By their fruit you will recognize them." You are right to wonder.

In the Tissot headliner, the two men look like a lot of people you could run into in most major American cities today…well, in the summer anyway.

Seems like that 6th century mosaicist possessed a good deal more artistic talent than we see until the 14th century.

The Ravenna Byzantine mosaics are stunning and they are protected as a Unesco World Heritage site. I am sure the best mosaicists were employed who worked with crews of slaves..It is an ancient art that seems to go back to the Bronze Age.
