    26Healing of a Demoniac So they sailed over to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

    27As Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the tombs.

    28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice,“Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!”

    29For Jesus had started commanding the evil spirit to come out of the man.(For it had seized him many times, so he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard. But he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)

    30Jesus then asked him,“What is your name?” He said,“Legion,” because many demons had entered him.

    31And they began to beg him not to order them to depart into the abyss.

    32Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and the demonic spirits begged Jesus to let them go into them. He gave them permission.

    33So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of pigs rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.

    34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside.

    35So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus. They found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

    36Those who had seen it told them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.

    37Then all the people of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.

    38The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

    1Healing of a Demoniac So they came to the other side of the lake, to the region of the Gerasenes.

    2Just as Jesus was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs and met him.

    3He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

    4For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

    5Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

    6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.

    7Then he cried out with a loud voice,“Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I implore you by God– do not torment me!”

    8(For Jesus had said to him,“Come out of that man, you unclean spirit!”)

    9Jesus asked him,“What is your name?” And he said,“My name is Legion, for we are many.”

    10He begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of the region.
