Mark 5:1-13

1And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

2And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;

4because 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.

5And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

6And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;

7and 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.

8For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.

9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.

10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.

12And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13And 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.
