Mark 5:1-13

11They cameG2064 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 of the seaG2281, into the countryG5561 of the GerasenesG1086. 2When He gotG1831 out of 2the boatG4143, immediatelyG2117 a manG444 from the tombsG3419 3with an uncleanG169 spiritG4151 metG5221 Him, 3and he hadG2192 his dwellingG2731 amongG1722 the tombsG3418. And noG3761G3762 oneG3762 was ableG1410 to bindG1210 him anymoreG3765, evenG3761 with a chainG254; 4becauseG1223 he had oftenG4178 been boundG1210 with shacklesG3976 and chainsG254, and the chainsG254 had been tornG1288 apartG1288 by him and the shacklesG3976 brokenG4937 in piecesG4937, and noG3762 oneG3762 was strongG2480 enoughG2480 to subdueG1150 him. 5ConstantlyG1223, nightG3571 and dayG2250, he was screamingG2896 amongG1722 the tombsG3418 and in the mountainsG3735, and gashingG2629 himselfG1438 with stonesG3037. 6SeeingG3708 JesusG2424 from a distanceG3113, he ranG5143 up and bowedG4352 downG4352 beforeG4352 Him; 7and shoutingG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saidG3004, “45WhatG5101 business do we have with each other, JesusG2424, 6SonG5207 of 7the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316? I imploreG3726 You by GodG2316, do not tormentG928 me!” 8For He had been sayingG3004 to him, “ComeG1831 out of the manG444, you uncleanG169 spiritG4151!” 9And He was askingG1905 him, “WhatG5101 is your nameG3686?” And he saidG3004 to Him, “My nameG3686 is 8LegionG3003; for we are manyG4183.” 10And he began to imploreG3870 Him earnestlyG4183 not to sendG649 them out of the countryG5561. 11NowG1161 there was a largeG3173 herdG34 of swineG5519 feedingG1006 9nearbyG1563 on the mountainG3735. 12The demons imploredG3870 Him, sayingG3004, “SendG3992 us into the swineG5519 soG2443 that we may enterG1525 them.” 13Jesus gaveG2010 them permissionG2010. And comingG1831 out, the uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 enteredG1525 the swineG5519; and the herdG34 rushedG3729 downG2596 the steepG2911 bankG2911 into the seaG2281, aboutG5613 twoG1367 thousandG1367 of them; and they were drownedG4155 in the seaG2281.
