    14 And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.

    15 And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.

    16 And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
