Mark 5:2-20

2And immediately on his goingG1831 out of the shipG4143 there met him out of the tombsG3419 a manG444 possessed by an uncleanG169 spiritG4151,

3who had his dwelling in the tombsG3418; and no oneG3762 was ableG1410 to bindG1210 him, not evenG2532 with chainsG254;

4because he had been oftenG4178 boundG1210 with fetters and chainsG254, and the chainsG254 had been tornG1288 asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no oneG3762 was ableG2480 to subdueG1150 him.

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

6But seeingG3708 JesusG2424 from afar off, he ranG5143 and did him homage,

7and cryingG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 he saysG3004, What have I to do with thee, JesusG2424, SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 1GodG2316? I adjureG3726 thee by 2GodG2316, tormentG928 me not.

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

9And he askedG1905 him, What isG1510 thy nameG3686? And he saysG3004 to him, LegionG3003 isG1510 my nameG3686, because we areG1510 manyG4183.

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

11NowG1161 there wasG1510 there just at the mountainG3735 a greatG3173 herdG34 of swine feedingG1006;

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

13And Jesus [immediately] allowedG2010 them. And the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 goingG1831 out enteredG1525 into the swine, and the herdG34 rushedG3729 down the steepG2911 slope, into the seaG2281 (about two thousand), and were choked in the seaG2281.

14And those that wereG1510 feedingG1006 them fledG5343 and reportedG518 it in the cityG4172 and in the countryG68. And they went out to seeG3708 what it wasG1510 that had taken placeG1096.

15And they comeG2064 to JesusG2424, and they seeG2334 the possessed of demons sittingG2521 [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legionG3003: and they were afraidG5399.

16And they that had seenG3708 [it] related to them howG4459 it had happenedG1096 to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerningG4012 the swine.

17And they beganG757 to beg him to departG565 from their coasts.

18And as he went on board shipG4143, the man that had beenG1510 possessed by demons besought him that he might beG1510 with him.

19And he suffered him not, but saysG3004 to him, GoG5217 to thine homeG3624 to thine own people, and tellG3004 them howG3745 great things the LordG2962 has done for thee, and has had mercyG1653 on thee.

20And he wentG565 awayG565 and beganG757 to proclaimG2784 in the DecapolisG1179 howG3745 great thingsG3956 JesusG2424 had done for him; and all wonderedG2296.
