2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit, who had been dwelling among the tombs.
3 And no man could bind him, no, not with chains; because that he had been often bound with fetters, and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces; neither could any man tame him.
4 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
5 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a loud voice and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, unclean spirit.
6 And he commanded him saying, Declare thy name. And he answered, saying, My name is Legion; for we are many.
7 And he besought him much, that he would not send them away out of the country.
8 Now there was there, nigh unto the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding.
9 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave.
10 And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand,) and were choked in the sea.
11 And they that fed the swine fled, and told the people in the city, and in the country, all that was done unto the swine.
12 And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they came to Jesus, and saw him that was possessed with the devil, and had the Legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
