When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
When the people taking care of the pigs saw what just happened, they totally panicked and ran off to tell everyone in town and the surrounding areas about it.
Sometimes God moves so powerfully that people can't help but spread the news everywhere.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, this verse is part of the story where Jesus heals a man possessed by demons in the Gentile region of the Gerasenes, an area outside Jewish territories. The demons are cast into a herd of pigs, which then rush into the lake and drown, leading the pig herders to flee in fear and spread the news. This event underscores the cultural divide, as pigs were unclean to Jews, highlighting Jesus' ministry extending to non-Jewish people.
