27 Being come ashore, a man of the city met him, who had been long possessed by demons; and who wore no clothes, and had no habitation but the sepulchers.

28 When he saw Jesus, he roared out, and threw himself at his feet, crying, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me.

29 (For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had frequently seized him, so that when he was chained and fettered, he broke his bonds, and was driven by the fiend into the desert.)

30 «Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is your names? He answered, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.»

31 And they entreated him, that he would not command them to go into the deep;

32 but, as there was a numerous herd of swine feeding on the mountain, that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.

33 Then the demons having quitted the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and were drowned.

34 The herdsmen, seeing this, fled, and spread the news through the city and villages.

35 And the inhabitants flocked out to see what had happened. Being come to Jesus, and finding the man of whom the demons were dispossessed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid.
