1
Yeshua and his talmidim arrived at the other side of the lake, in the Gerasenes' territory.
2
As soon as he disembarked, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the burial caves to meet him.
3
He lived in the burial caves; and no one could keep him tied up, not even with a chain.
4
He had often been chained hand and foot, but he would snap the chains and break the irons off his feet, and no one was strong enough to control him.
5
Night and day he wandered among the graves and through the hills, howling and gashing himself with stones.
6
Seeing Yeshua from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him
7
and screamed at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Yeshua, Son of God Ha`Elyon? I implore you in God's name! Don't torture me!"
8
For Yeshua had already begun saying to him, "Unclean spirit, come out of this man!"
9
Yeshua asked him, "What's your name?" "My name is Legion," he answered, "there are so many of us";
10
and he kept begging Yeshua not to send them out of that region.
