Mark 5:1

Demons Driven Out by the Master

1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.[a]

Mark 5:1 In-Context

1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
2 As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him.
3 He lived in the tombs. No one was able to restrain him any more-even with chains-
4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had snapped off the chains and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 And always, night and day, he was crying out among the tombs and in the mountains and cutting himself with stones.
