Mark 5

¹And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

²and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

³who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

⁴because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

⁵and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

⁶And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

⁷and having called with a loud voice, he said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

⁸(for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

⁹and he was questioning him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he answered, saying, 'Legion [is] my name, because we are many;'

¹⁰and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

¹¹And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

¹²and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

¹³and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea — and they were about two thousand — and they were choked in the sea.
