Mark 5:2-12

2 As Jesus got out of the boat, a madman from the cemetery came up to him.

2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

3 He lived there among the tombs and graves. No one could restrain him - he couldn't be chained, couldn't be tied down.

3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

4 He had been tied up many times with chains and ropes, but he broke the chains, snapped the ropes. No one was strong enough to tame him.

4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

5 Night and day he roamed through the graves and the hills, screaming out and slashing himself with sharp stones.

5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus a long way off, he ran and bowed in worship before him -

6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.

7 then bellowed in protest, "What business do you have, Jesus, Son of the High God, messing with me? I swear to God, don't give me a hard time!"

7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”

8 (Jesus had just commanded the tormenting evil spirit, "Out! Get out of the man!")

8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

9 Jesus asked him, "Tell me your name."

9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10 Then he desperately begged Jesus not to banish them from the country.

10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
