The Gadarene demoniac

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the province of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he got out of the boat, there came out to meet him from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains could anyone bind him. 4 For having been bound many times with fetters and chains, the chains were broken by him in pieces, and the fetters in crumbs, and no one was able to tame him. 5 And he was always going about, day and night, crying out to the mountains and to the tombs, and smiting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and worshiped him. 7 And, crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God not to torment me. 8 (For he said to him, Come out of this man, you unclean spirit.) 9 And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered him, saying, Legion is my name, because we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them out of that province. 11 And there was a large herd of pigs grazing there on the mountain. 12 And all those demons begged him, saying, Send us into those pigs, that we may go into them. 13 And Jesus soon allowed him. And those unclean spirits went out and entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down a cliff into the sea (there were about two thousand of them) and was drowned in the sea. 14 And those who tended the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the fields; and many went out to see what had happened.

15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had the legion, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it told them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and about the pigs. 17 And they began begging him to get out of his territory. 18 And when he got into the boat, he begged him who was possessed to let him be with him. 19 Jesus, however, did not allow it, but said to him: Go to your house, to yours, and announce to them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you. 20 And he went and began to tell in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone marveled.
