2
And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3
who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no man could bind him, no, not even with chains,
4
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him and the fetters broken in pieces; neither could any man tame him.
5
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
7
and cried with a loud voice, and said, "What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God that Thou torment me not!"
8
For He had said unto him, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
9
And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10
And he besought Him much that He would not send them away out of the country.
11
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12
And all the devils besought Him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
