1 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And as he came out of the boat, there met him immediately out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could bind him, no not with chains.
4 For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder, by him, and the fetters broken in pieces; and no man could tame him.
5 And always night and day, he was in the tombs, and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6 But seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him, And crying with a loud voice,
7 said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most 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 asked him, What is thy name? And he answered saying, My name is Legion; for we are many.
10 And he earnestly besought him, that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there at the mountain a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us to the swine, that we may go into them.
13 And Jesus forthwith gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see that which was done.
