27 As he stepped out on land he was met by a man from the town who had daemons in him; for a long while he had worn no clothing, and he stayed not in a house but among the tombs.
28 On catching sight of Jesus he shrieked aloud and prayed him with a loud cry, "Jesus, son of God most High, what business have you with me? Do not torture me, I beg of you."
29 (For he had charged the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many a time when it had seized hold of him, he had been fastened secure in fetters and chains, but he would snap his bonds and be driven by the daemon into the desert.)
30 So Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he said, for a number of daemons had entered him.
31 And they begged him not to order them off to the abyss.
32 Now a considerable drove of swine was grazing there on the hillside, so the daemons begged him for leave to enter them. He gave them leave,
33 and the daemons came out of the man and went into the swine; the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were suffocated.
34 When the herdsmen saw what had occurred they fled and reported it to the town and the hamlets.
35 The people came out to see what had occurred and when they reached Jesus they discovered the man whom the daemons had left, seated at the feet of Jesus, clothed and sane. That frightened them.
36 They got a report from those who had seen how the lunatic was cured,
37 and then all the inhabitants of the surrounding country of the Gergesenes asked him to leave them, they were so seized with terror. He embarked in the boat and went back.
