27 Going out and to him on the land, met him a man certain out of the city, who had demons from times many, and a mantle not he put on, and in a house not he remained, but in the tombs.

28 Seeing and the Jesus, and crying out, he fell down to him, and with a voice loud he said: What to me and to thee, Jesus, O son of the God of the highest? I beseech thee, not me thou mayest torment.

29 (He had commanded for the spirit the unclean to come out from the man; many for times it had seized him; and he was bound with chains and fetters, being guarded; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts.)

30 Asked and him the Jesus, saying: What to thee is a name? He and said: Legion; for demons many had entered into him.

31 And he besought him, that not he would command them into the abyss to go.

32 Was and there a herd of swine many feeding in the mountain; and they besought him, that he would permit them into them to enter. And he permitted them.

33 Having gone out and the demons from the man, they entered into the swine; and rushed the herd down the precipice into the lake, and were chocked.

34 Seeing and those feeding that having been done, fled and reported in the city and in the villages.

35 They came out and to see that having been done; and came to the Jesus, and found sitting the man, from whom the demons had gone out, having been clothed and being of sane mind, at the feet of the Jesus; and they were afraid.
