Christ and his disciples meet two possessed people at a tomb. No one dares to walk past the possessed. They ask Christ for help and he sends them to a herd of pigs further down by a lake. The pigs all plunge into the lake and the possessed are delivered from their demons. Illustration from the New Testament, Mat 8, 28.
