MLV(i)
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Now when Jesus had gone forth upon the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who was held by demons, and he had not clothed himself with a garment in a considerable time and was not abiding in any house, but lived in the tombs.
28 Now when he saw Jesus, and having cried out, he fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What is this thing with me and with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I beseech of you. Do not torment me.
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For it had seized him many times, and he was being guarded and bound with chains and shackles, and ripping the bonds, he was being driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Now Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name?
Now he said, Legion. (Because many demons had entered into him.) 31 And he was pleading with him in order that he might not command them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a considerable herd of swine was there, feeding at the mountain. And he was pleading with him in order that he might permit them to enter into those swine. And he permitted them. 33 Now the demons having gone out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and were choking to death. 34 Now when those who are feeding them saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the rural-area. 35 Now they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, having on garments and being sensible, beside the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid. 36 But those who saw it reported to them also, how he who was demon-possessed was cured. 37 And all the multitude of the region around the Gadarenes asked him to go away from them, because they were being held by great fear, and he stepped into the ship and returned. 38 Now the man from whom the demons had gone out of, was beseeching to be together with him.
But Jesus dismissed him, saying, 39 Return to your house, and describe how-much God has done for you. And he went away, preaching in the whole city how much Jesus had done to him.
