29 Perciocchè egli comandava allo spirito immondo di uscir di quell’uomo; perchè già da lungo tempo se n’era impodestato; e benchè fosse guardato, legato con catene, e con ceppi, rompeva i legami, ed era trasportato dal demonio ne’ deserti.
29
For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
