Mark 5:6-13

6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.

7Then he cried out with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I implore you by God – do not torment me!”

8(For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of that man, you unclean spirit!”)

9Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

10He begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of the region.

11There on the hillside, a great herd of pigs was feeding.

12And the demonic spirits begged him, “Send us into the pigs. Let us enter them.”

13Jesus gave them permission. So the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about two thousand were drowned in the lake.
