Luke 8:27-39

27And when he was comeG1831 forthG1831 upon the landG1093, there met him a certainG5100 manG435 out of the cityG4172, who had demonsG1140; and for a long timeG5550 he had worn no clothesG2440, and abode not in any houseG3614, but in the tombsG3418. 28And when he sawG3708 JesusG2424, he cried out, and fell downG4363 before him, and with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 saidG3004, What have I to do with thee, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I beseech thee, tormentG928 me not. 29For he was commandingG3853 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 to comeG1831 out from the manG444. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was keptG5442 under guardG5442, and bound with chainsG254 and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demonG1140 into the deserts. 30And JesusG2424 askedG1905 him, What isG1510 thy nameG3686? And he saidG3004, LegionG3003; for manyG4183 demonsG1140 wereG1510 enteredG1525 into him. 31And they entreated him that he would not commandG2004 them to departG565 into the abyssG12. 32NowG1161 there wasG1510 there a herdG34 of manyG2425 swine feedingG1006 on the mountainG3735: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enterG1525 into them. And he gave them leave. 33And the demonsG1140 cameG1831 out from the manG444, and enteredG1525 into the swine: and the herdG34 rushedG3729 down the steepG2911 into the lakeG3041, and were drowned. 34And when they that fed them sawG3708 what had comeG1096 to passG1096, they fledG5343, and toldG518 it in the cityG4172 and in the countryG68. 35And they wentG1831 out to seeG3708 what had comeG2064 to passG1096; and they cameG2064 to JesusG2424, and foundG2147 the manG444, from whom the demonsG1140 were goneG1831 out, sittingG2521, clothed and in his right mind, at the feetG4228 of JesusG2424: and they were afraidG5399. 36And they that sawG3708 it toldG518 them howG4459 he that was possessed with demons was made whole. 37And all the people of the country of the GerasenesG1086 round about askedG2065 him to departG565 from them; for they were holden with greatG3173 fearG5401: and he entered into a boatG4143, and returnedG5290. 38But the manG435 from whom the demonsG1140 wereG1510 goneG1831 out prayedG1189 him that he might beG1510 with him: but he sentG630 him awayG630, sayingG3004, 39ReturnG5290 to thy houseG3624, and declare howG3745 great things GodG2316 hath done for thee. And he wentG565 his way, publishing throughout the wholeG3650 cityG4172 howG3745 great things JesusG2424 had done for him.
