1 And they came ouer to the other side of the sea into the countrey of the Gadarens.
2 And when he was come out of the shippe, there met him incontinently out of the graues, a man which had an vncleane spirit:
3 Who had his abiding among the graues, and no man could binde him, no not with chaines:
4 Because that when hee was often bounde with fetters and chaines, he plucked the chaines asunder, and brake the fetters in pieces, neither could any man tame him.
5 And alwayes both night and day he cryed in the mountaines, and in the graues, and strooke himselfe with stones.
6 And when he saw Iesus afarre off, he ranne, and worshipped him,
7 And cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of the most high God? I will that thou sweare to me by God, that thou torment me not.
8 (For hee saide vnto him, Come out of the man, thou vncleane spirit.)
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? and hee answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And hee prayed him instantly, that hee would not send them away out of the countrey.
11 Now there was there in the mountaines a great heard of swine, feeding.
12 And all ye deuils besought him, saying, Send vs into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And incontinently Iesus gaue them leaue. Then the vncleane spirites went out, and entred into the swine, and the heard ranne headlong from the high banke into the sea, (and there were about two thousand swine) and they were choked vp in the sea.
14 And the swineheards fled, and told it in the citie, and in the countrey, and they came out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they came to Iesus, and sawe him that had bene possessed with the deuil, and had the legion, sit both clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afraide.
16 And they that saw it, tolde them, what was done to him that was possessed with the deuil, and concerning the swine.
17 Then they began to pray him, that hee would depart from their coastes.
18 And when he was come into the shippe, he that had bene possessed with the deuil, prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit, Iesus would not suffer him, but said vnto him, Goe thy way home to thy friendes, and shewe them what great thinges the Lord hath done vnto thee, and howe hee hath had compassion on thee.
20 So he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Iesus had done vnto him: and all men did marueile.
