Mark 5:2-20
2When He gotG1831 out of 1the boatG4143, immediatelyG2117 a manG444 from the tombsG3419 2with 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, “34WhatG5101 business do we have with each other, JesusG2424, 5SonG5207 of 6the 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 7LegionG3003; 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 8nearbyG1563 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.
14Their herdsmenG1006 ranG5343 awayG5343 and reportedG518 it in the cityG4172 and in the countryG68. And the people cameG2064 to seeG3708 whatG5101 it was that had happenedG1096. 15They cameG2064 to JesusG2424 and observedG2334 the man who had been 9demon-possessedG1139 sittingG2521 downG2521, 10clothedG2439 and 11in his rightG4993 mindG4993, the very man who had hadG2192 the “12legionG3003”; and they became frightenedG5399. 16ThoseG3588 who had seenG3708 it describedG1334 to them howG4459 it had happenedG1096 to the 13demon-possessedG1139 man, and all aboutG4012 the swineG5519. 17And they beganG757 to 14imploreG3870 Him to leaveG565 their regionG3725. 1815As He was gettingG1684 into the boatG4143, the man who had been 16demon-possessedG1139 was imploringG3870 Him that he might 17accompanyG3326G1510 Him. 19And He did not letG863 him, but He saidG3004 to him, “18GoG5217 homeG3624 to your peopleG4674 and reportG518 to them 19whatG3745 greatG3745 thingsG3745 the LordG2962 has doneG4160 for you, and how He hadG1653 mercyG1653 on you.” 20And he wentG565 awayG565 and beganG757 to 20proclaimG2784 in 21DecapolisG1179 22whatG3745 greatG3745 thingsG3745 JesusG2424 had doneG4160 for him; and everyoneG3956 was amazedG2296.
