Mark 5:6-13

6He saw Jesus a long way away and he ran to meet him. He went down on his knees in front of Jesus.

7He screamed loudly, ‘Jesus, you are the Son of the Most High God! What are you doing here? Please, promise God that you will not hurt me.’

8He said that because Jesus had already said to the bad spirit, ‘Come out of this man.’

9Then Jesus asked the man, ‘What is your name?’ The man replied, ‘My name is Army because there are so many bad spirits in me.’

10He said to Jesus many times, ‘Please do not send these bad spirits away from this place.’

11A large group of pigs was eating on the hill.

12The bad spirits said, ‘Jesus, send us to the pigs. Let us go into them.’

13Jesus let them do this. So the bad spirits came out of the man and they went into the pigs. There were about 2,000 pigs. They rushed together down the hill into the lake. All the pigs died there in the water.
