Mark 5:1-21

[1] And  they came over  unto  the other side  of the sea,  into  the country  [2] And  when he  was come  out of  the ship,  immediately  him  out of  the tombs  a man  with  an unclean  spirit,  [3] Who  had  his dwelling  among  and  no man  could  bind  him,  with chains:  [4] Because  that he  had been often  bound  with fetters  and  chains,  and  the chains  had been plucked asunder  by  him,  and  the fetters  broken in pieces:  neither  could  any man tame  him.  [5] And  night  and  day,  in  the mountains,  and  in  the tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself  with stones.  [6] Jesus  afar off,  he ran  and  worshipped  him,  [7] And  cried  with a loud  voice,  What  to do  Jesus,  thou Son  of the most high  God?  I adjure  by God,  that thou torment  not.  [8] For  unto him,  Come  out of  the man,  thou unclean  spirit.  [9] And  he asked  him,  What  name?  And  saying,  name  is Legion:  for  many.  [10] And  he besought  him  much  them  away  out of  the country.  [11] Now  there  nigh  unto the mountains  a great  herd  of swine  feeding.  [12] And  besought  him,  saying,  Send  into  the swine,  that  we may enter  into  them.  [13] And  them  leave.  And  the unclean  spirits  went out,  and entered  into  the swine:  and  the herd  ran  violently down  a steep place  into  the sea,  about  two thousand;)  and  were choked  in  the sea.  [14] they that fed  fled,  and  it in  the city,  and  in  the country.  And  what  that was done.  [15] And  they come  to  Jesus,  and  see  him that was possessed with the devil,  and had  the legion,  sitting,  and  clothed,  and  in his right mind:  and  they were afraid.  [16] And  it told  them  how  it befell  to him that was possessed with the devil,  and  also concerning  the swine.  [17] And  they began  to pray  him  to depart  out of  their  coasts.  [18] And  when he  was come  into  the ship,  he that had been possessed with the devil  prayed  him  that  with  him.  [19] suffered  him  not,  but  saith  unto him,  Go  home  to  thy friends,  and  them  how great things  the Lord  hath done  and  hath had compassion  [20] And  he departed,  and  began  to publish  in  Decapolis  how great things  Jesus  had done  for him:  and  all  men did marvel.  [21] And  when Jesus  was passed over  again  by  ship  unto  the other side,  much  people  gathered  unto  him:  and  nigh  unto the sea.
