Mark 5:2-5

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ² As soon as he got out of the boat, a man possessed by a foul spirit came out of the burial places near by to meet him. ³ This man lived among the tombs, and no one could any longer secure him even with a chain, ⁴ for he had often been fastened with fetters and chains and had snapped the chains and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him, ⁵ and night and day he was always shrieking among the tombs and on the hills and cutting himself with stones.

Isaiah 65:4; Luke 8:27
a man.Matthew gives a brief account of two demoniacs who were dispossessed on this occasion; but Mark and Luke omit the mention of one (who was perhaps not so remarkable). That these wretched men were not merely mad, as some suppose, but really possessed of evil spirits, appears clearly from the language employed, as well as from the narrative itself. Matthew expressly affirms that they were "possessed with devils," or demoniacs, [daimonizomai;] Mark says he had "an unclean spirit," i.e., a fallen spirit; and Luke asserts, that he "had devils (or demons) a long time," and was called Legion, "because many devils were entered into him." With supernatural strength the demons burst asunder the chains and fetters with which he was bound; they address Christ as the "Son of the most high God;" they beseech him to suffer them to enter into the swine; and when he had given them leave, they "went out and entered into the swine," etc.
