Mark 5:1–9
1They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.↗
2When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.↗
3He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,↗
4because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.↗
5Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.↗
6When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,↗
7and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”↗
8For he said to him,“Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”↗
9He asked him,“What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”↗
