^{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} 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.
