who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,
4
because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,
5
and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6
And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,
7
and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'
8
(for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')
9
and he was questioning him, `What [is] thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion [is] my name, because we are many;'
10
and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.
11
And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,
12
and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'
13
and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.
