1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.

2 And when He got out of the boat, immediately there met Him from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one could bind him, not even with chains,

4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been broken, and no one was able to subdue him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and bruising himself with stones.

6 But seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran and worshipped Him,

7 and crying out with a great voice he said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!"

8 For He was saying to him, "Come out from the man, unclean spirit!"

9 And He was asking him, "What is your name?"And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

10 And he was imploring Him many [times] that He would not send them out of the region.

11 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there near the mountain.

12 So all the demons implored Him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter them."

13 And immediately Jesus gave them permission. And when the unclean spirits came out, they entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, (there were about two thousand) and drowned in the sea.

14 But those feeding the pigs fled, and they reported it in the city and in the country. And they came out to see what it was that had happened.
