Mark 5:1-20

Murdock(i) 1 And he came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And as he went out of the ship, there met him from the place of sepulchres a man in whom was an unclean spirit. 3 And he dwelt in the place of sepulchres; and no one could confine him with chains: 4 because, as often as he had been confined with fetters and chains, he had broken the chains and burst the fetters: and no one could subdue him. 5 And continually, by night and by day, he was in the place of sepulchres, and cried and wounded himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him; 7 and cried with a loud voice, and said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8 For he had said to him: Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he demanded of him: What is thy name? And he replied to him: Our name is Legion; for we are many. 10 And he besought him much, that he would not send him out of the country. 11 And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of swine grazing. 12 And the demons besought him, and said: Send us upon those swine, that we may enter them. 13 And he permitted them. And those unclean spirits went out, and entered the swine: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a precipice, and fell into the sea, and were strangled in the waters. 14 And they who tended them, fled and told it in the city and in the villages: and they came out to see what had occurred. 15 And: they came to Jesus, and saw him in whom the demons had been, him in whom had been the legion, clothed, and sober, and sitting; and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it told them how it occurred to him who had the demons, and also concerning the swine. 17 And they began to request him, that he would go from their border. 18 And as he ascended the ship, the late demoniac requested that he might continue with him. 19 And he suffered him not, but said to him: Go home to thy people, and tell them what the Lord hath done for thee, and hath compassionated thee. 20 And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed.
