MLV(i)
1 And they came to the area of the sea beyond-that, into the region of the Gadarenes.
2 And having come out of the ship, immediately a man encountered him out of the tombs in him was an unclean spirit,
3 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no one was able to bind him, not even with chains.
4 Because of the same, he had been bound often with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn to shreds by him and the shackles had been crushed, and no one was strong-enough to tame him.
5 And he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones, night and day, in the mountains and in the tombs.
6 Now when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him; 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said, What is this thing with me and with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I am imploring you by God, do\'b0 not torment me.
8 For he said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is your name?
And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, because we are many. 10 And he was pleading with him much in order that he might not send them away outside the region. 11 Now a great herd of swine was feeding there before the mountain. 12 And all the demons pleaded with him, saying, Send us into the swine, in order that we may enter into them. 13 And Jesus immediately permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine and the herd rushed down the cliff into the sea. Now they were approximately two thousand, and they were choking in the sea.
14 Now those feeding the swine fled and reported it to the city and to the rural-area. And they came out to see what it was that has happened. 15 And they come to Jesus and were viewing he who was demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and he had his garments on and was sensible, and they were afraid. 16 But those who saw it described to them how it happened to he who was demon-possessed and concerning the swine. 17 And they began to plead with him to go away from their borders.
18 And when he stepped into the ship, he who had been demon-possessed was pleading with him in order that he might be with him. 19 But Jesus did not allow him, but says to him, Go to your house, to your own and report to them how-much the Lord has done for you and how he showed-mercy on you. 20 And he traveled and began to preach in Decapolis how-much Jesus had done for him and all were marveling.
