âKilling?â Even when mocking an opponent, at least be accurate; the demons possessed the pigs who then rushed into water and drowned themselves: biblehub.com/mark/5-13.htm

I analyzed this verse as part of my Bible 101 course in college. The NIV (preferred by biblical scholars) is that Jesus drove the pigs to their death as a continuation of the Mesopotamian tradition of religious warriors

Itâs less violent, but Jesus killing a fig tree because it wasnât fig season is also really funny.
