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.
9
And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
10
And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
11
And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12
And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into 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.
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:
15
And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.
16
And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
