1
And they came over the strait of the sea, into the country of the Gerasens.
2
And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
3
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
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.
5
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6
And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
7
And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
8
For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
