1 And they came beyond the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes,
2 And a man from the tombs, with an unclean spirit met Him, having come out of the ship;
3 who had his dwelling among the tombs: neither was any one able to bind him with chains;
4 because frequently he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were slipped off by him, and the fetters torn to pieces.
5 No one was able to tame him: and all the time, night and day, he was among the tombs in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus a great way off, he ran to Him, and worshiped Him;
7 and crying with a loud voice, he says, What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee in the name of God, that you may not torment me.
8 For He said to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
9 And He asked him, What is thy name? And he says to Him, My name is Legion; because we are many.
10 And he continued to intreat Him much, that He would not send them out of the country.
11 And there was a great herd of swine feeding in the mountain.
12 And they intreated Him, saying, Send us into the swine, in order that we may go into them.
13 And Jesus immediately permitted them. And the unclean spirits having gone out, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and there were about two thousand: and they were strangled in the sea.
14 And those herding them fled, and reported in the city, and in the country. And they came out to see what it was that came to pass.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see the demonized man sitting down, both clothed and in his right mind, the one called Legion; and they were afraid.
16 And those seeing, related to them how it happened to the demonized man and concerning the swine.
17 And they began to intreat Him to depart from their coasts.
18 And He having come to the ship, the demonized man intreated Him that he should be with Him.
19 And He did not permit him, but says to him, Go to thine own house to thy people, and proclaim to them how many things the Lord has done for thee, and had mercy on thee.
20 And he went away, and began to preach in Decapolis, how many things Jesus did to him. And all were astonished.
