2
And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3
who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains,
4
because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.
5
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.
7
And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me."
8
For He said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!"
9
Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."
10
Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.
11
Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains.
12
So all the demons begged Him, saying, "Send us to the swine, that we may enter them."
