Mark 5:1-6

1 Jesus and his followers went to the other side of the lake to the area of the Gerasene people.

2 When Jesus got out of the boat, instantly a man with an evil spirit came to him from the burial caves.

3 This man lived in the caves, and no one could tie him up, not even with a chain.

4 Many times people had used chains to tie the man's hands and feet, but he always broke them off. No one was strong enough to control him.

5 Day and night he would wander around the burial caves and on the hills, screaming and cutting himself with stones.

6 While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him, ran to him, and fell down before him.
