6
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;
7
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
8
For he had said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9
And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."
10
And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.
11
Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;
12
and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."
13
So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.
14
The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.
15
And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.
16
And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
