2
And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him.
3 Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
3
He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain;
4 For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
4
for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.
5 And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
5
Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones.

7
and he shouted at the top of his voice, "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!"

11 And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
11
Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding;
12 And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
12
and the unclean spirits begged him, "Send us into the swine; let us enter them."
13 And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, were stifled in the sea.
13
So he gave them permission. 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 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:

16
Those who had seen what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine reported it.

17
Then they began to beg Jesus to leave their neighborhood.

18
As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19 And he admitted him not, but saith him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy thee.
19
But Jesus refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you."

27
She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
