2
And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3
who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
4
because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
5
And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6
And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
7
and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
8
For he said unto him,
Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
9
And he asked him,
What is thy name? And he saith unto him, 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 on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.
12
And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
