Mark 5:1-20

CLV(i) 1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gergesenes." 2 And at His coming out of the ship, straightway there meets Him a man out of the tombs, with an unclean spirit, 3 who had a dwelling among the tombs. And not even with chains was anyone able any longer to bind him, 4 because of his having often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were pulled to pieces by him and the fetters crushed. And no one was strong enough to tame him. " 5 And continually, night and day, among the tombs and in the mountains was he, crying and gashing himself with stones." 6 And perceiving Jesus from afar, he ran and worships Him, 7 and, crying with a loud voice, he is saying, "What is it to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High! I am adjuring Thee by God: Not me shouldst Thou be tormenting!" 8 For He said to it, "Come out, unclean spirit, out of the man!" 9 And He inquired of it, "What is your name?And it is saying to Him, "Legion is my name, for many are we." 10 And it entreated Him much that He should not be dispatching it out of the country. 11 Now there, toward the mountain, was a great herd of hogs, grazing." 12 And all the demons entreat Him, saying, "Send us into the hogs, that we may be entering into them." 13 And Jesus immediately permits them. And, coming out, the unclean spirits entered into the hogs, and the herd rushes down the precipice into the sea. Now they were about two thousand, and they were choked in the sea." 14 And those grazing them fled, and they report it in the city and in the fields. And they came to see what it is that has occurred." 15 And they are coming to Jesus and beholding the demoniac who had the legion, sitting and garmented and sane, and they were afraid." 16 And those who perceived it relate to them how it came to be with the demoniac, and concerning the hogs." 17 And they begin to be entreating Him to come away from their boundaries. 18 And at His stepping into the ship, the demoniac entreated Him that he may be with Him." 19 And He does not let him, but He is saying to him, "Go into your home, to those who are yours, and report to them whatever the Lord has done for you and how He is merciful to you." 20 And he came away, and begins to herald in the Decapolis whatever Jesus does for him. And all marveled."
