²⁰ And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.

²⁶ And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

⁴⁴ You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

⁴² And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

²⁹ For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

²⁶ And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

¹⁸ And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.

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

⁴ 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 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 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

⁷ And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.

⁸ And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.

¹⁰ Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?

¹¹ But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.

¹² And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
