1 And they came to the other side of the sea into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he came out of the boat, straightaway there met him out of the sepulchers a man with an unclean spirit who had his habitation among the sepulchers.
3 And no man was able to bind him, not even with chains.
4 Because he was often bound with shackles and chains, and the chains were pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces. And no man had strength to subdue him.
5 And always, night and day, in the mountains and in the sepulchers, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6 And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and worshiped him.
7 And having cried out in a great voice, he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, do not torment me.
8 For he said to him, Come out from the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he demanded him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, because we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them outside of the territory.
11 Now there was near the mountain a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them.
13 And straightaway, Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits having come out, entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the sea, and were drowned in the sea. And there were about two thousand.
14 And those who fed the swine fled, and reported in the city and in the fields. And they came to see what it was that happened.
