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."
13
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place and into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
14
And those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went out to see what it was that had been done.
15
And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed by the devil and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16
And those who saw it told the people what had befallen him that was possessed by the devil, and also concerning the swine.
