Mark 5:1-6

Jesus Heals a Man with a Demon

1 1They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a]
2 And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
3 2He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and 3fell down before him.
