and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."
8
For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9
He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11
Now there was on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding.
12
All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14
Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15
They came to Jesus, and saw him who was possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16
Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17
They began to beg him to depart from their borders.
