^{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.

^{1 Ref} They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

^{2 Ref} When he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

^{3 Ref} who had his dwelling in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

^{4 Ref} because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

^{5 Ref} Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

^{6 Ref} When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,

^{7 Ref} 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 Ref} For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

^{9 Ref} He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

^{10 Ref} He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

^{11 Ref} Now there was on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding.

^{12 Ref} All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."

^{13 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
