After healing a terrible case of leprosy, Jesus tells the leper to keep it a secret. Why would he say that? The casting out thousands of demons out of two insane men, the demons enter an entire herd of pigs (two thousand) who rush into the lake and drown. The entire town wanted Jesus to go away, but why were they farming pigs? Don't Jews avoid pigs? And Jesus tells a parable which seems to suggest the Gentiles will do better in Heaven than Jews will.
