^{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} And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

^{2 Ref} and he having come forth 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, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

^{4 Ref} because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

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

^{6 Ref} And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

^{7 Ref} and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

^{8 Ref} (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

^{9 Ref} and he was questioning him, `What `is' thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion `is' my name, because we are many;'

^{10 Ref} and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

^{11 Ref} And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

^{12 Ref} and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

^{13 Ref} and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

^{14 Ref} And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

^{15 Ref} and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;

^{1 Ref} And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

^{2 Ref} And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

^{3 Ref} He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

^{4 Ref} Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

^{5 Ref} And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

^{6 Ref} And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

^{7 Ref} And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

^{8 Ref} For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

^{9 Ref} And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

^{10 Ref} And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

^{11 Ref} Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

^{12 Ref} And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

^{13 Ref} And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

^{14 Ref} And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

^{15 Ref} And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.
