Mark 5:1-17

1And they cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the seaG2281, into the countryG5561 of the GerasenesG1086.

2And when he was comeG1831 out of the boatG4143, straightway there met him out of the tombsG3419 a manG444 with an uncleanG169 spiritG4151,

3who had his dwelling in the tombsG3418: and no man could any more bindG1210 him, no, not with a chainG254;

4because that he had been oftenG4178 boundG1210 with fetters and chainsG254, and the chainsG254 had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.

5And always, nightG3571 and dayG2250, in the tombsG3418 and in the mountainsG3735, he wasG1510 cryingG2896 out, and cutting himself with stonesG3037.

6And when he sawG3708 JesusG2424 from afar, he ranG5143 and worshipped him;

7and cryingG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saith, What have I to do with thee, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I adjureG3726 thee by GodG2316, tormentG928 me not.

8For he saidG3004 unto him, ComeG1831 forthG1831, thou uncleanG169 spiritG4151, out of the manG444.

9And he askedG1905 him, What isG1510 thy nameG3686? And he saith unto him, My nameG3686 isG1510 LegionG3003; for we areG1510 manyG4183.

10And he besought him muchG4183 that he would not sendG649 them away out of the countryG5561.

11NowG1161 there wasG1510 there on the mountainG3735 side a greatG3173 herdG34 of swine feedingG1006.

12And they besought him, sayingG3004, SendG3992 us into the swine, that we may enterG1525 into them.

13And he gave them leave. And the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 cameG1831 out, and enteredG1525 into the swine: and the herdG34 rushedG3729 down the steepG2911 into the seaG2281, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the seaG2281.

14And they that fed them fledG5343, and toldG518 it in the cityG4172, and in the countryG68. And they cameG2064 to seeG3708 what it wasG1510 that had comeG2064 to passG1096.

15And they comeG2064 to JesusG2424, and behold him that was possessed with demons sittingG2521, clothed and in his right mind, evenG2532 him that had the legionG3003: and they were afraidG5399.

16And they that sawG3708 it declared unto them howG4459 it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerningG4012 the swine.

17And they beganG757 to beseech him to departG565 from their borders.
