Mark 5
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Ref And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Ref who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
4 Ref because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
5 Ref And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ref And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
7 Ref and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
8 Ref For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
9 Ref And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.
10 Ref And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Ref Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.
12 Ref And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 Ref And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, `in number' about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.
14 Ref And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.
15 Ref And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, `even' him that had the legion: and they were afraid.
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 Ref And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Ref Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Ref Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 Ref And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 Ref But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 Ref And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 Ref For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 Ref And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 Ref And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Ref Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 Ref And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 Ref And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 Ref And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 Ref And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
