The Holy Supper was over. Judas had already left them to go and betray his Master to the Chief Priests, for thirty pieces of silver, and he had gone out into the darkness. [Illustration: In that wonderful conversation, as Jesus talked with the disciples for the last time, He told them many things which they understood more clearly afterwards.] In that wonderful conversation, as Jesus talked with the disciples for the last time, He told them many things which they understood more clearly afterwards. He told them He would not leave them comfortless, and that He was going to prepare a place for all who loved Him, in the many mansions of His Father's house. And then they sang a hymn together—Jesus and His disciples—and after that they went into the Garden of Gethsemane, where the Easter moon was shining among the sombre trees: and there it was that Judas found Him, and betrayed Him to the multitude. XXI. DOWN A STEEP PLACE MARK 5.13 [Illustration: "And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea,—" Mark 5.13.] AFTER the Lord Jesus had stilled the great storm, and the disciples had been so amazed that even the wind and the sea obeyed Him, they landed on the other side of the Lake from that from which they had started. And directly the Lord stepped on the shore from the boat, He performed another great miracle in the sight of the astonished disciples. For there was a man there who lived among the tombs. He wore no clothes, and he did nothing but wander about and cry and cut himself with stones. People had tried to bind him, but he broke the chains, and no man could tame him. For it was Satan who had put wicked spirits to live in him, and this was what made him so miserable. But when the poor man saw Jesus come out of the ship, he hurried to Him, and worshipped Him; and begged Him not to torment him, for he said that he knew that Jesus was the Son of the most high God! But Jesus had said at once, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit!" Then the Lord Jesus asked the man to tell him his name? And the man said it was Legion, for that many devils lived in him. Then the devils asked Jesus not to send them far away, and begged Him to send them into the herd of swine which were feeding near on the mountain. So Jesus gave them leave, and the wicked spirits entered into the swine; and instantly the whole herd ran violently down a steep place and were drowned in the sea. Then the keepers of the swine hurried away to the town, to tell the people what had happened; for there were over two thousand swine buried in the sea. But when the people came out to see for themselves, a wonderful sight met their eyes. For there was the man, whom Jesus had healed, sitting quietly by Him, with clothes on, and in his right mind! The wicked spirits had gone out of him, and he was happy beyond expression. He only wanted to be near Jesus, and to show Him how thankful he was! And he begged Jesus to let him stay with Him always.
