The pig farmers were Jewish. They would not consume the pigs but had no qualms making money off them. Jesus allowed the demons to enter the pigs knowing the pigs having more sense than men would run into the water and perish rather live with the demons inside them.
The townspeople were against Jesus because He interfered with their livelihood. They did not give a care in the world that Jesus had healed the man that the entire town had feared and had no compassion toward what great miracle had been done.
Sad story of men being more concerned about earthly things than giving God the glory for the wonders He has done.
Would not the single soul saved be worth the entire flock of pigs? Jews should have been raising sheep not pigs.
For the cause of Christ
