When Jesus saw 2 men crazy because devels in them and he healed them he put the devels in their pigs and the pigs went in the water and then the 2 men told Jesus to leave because jesus took away pigs??

my question is why did Jesus take away the pigs if he knew that the 2 men were gana sell some of them to eat??

Weren't pigs unclean to the jews? if so, why would you say they were going to sell them to eat. and if they were unclean, wouldn't mean that they aren't supposed to be raising them in the first place? I think the story also shows how valuable human are and how little the villagers valued their fellow posessed man. b/c they asked jesus to leave their village instead of recognize him as God. the economic loss is a sign to those who wanted to engage of unlawful things to make money.

{i just double check with the OSB and it states what i have above}
