Mark 5 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
2 And as he went out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the sepulchres a man in an unclean spirit,
3 that had his dwelling in the sepulchres, and neither with chains could any man now bind him:
4 For being often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters, and no body could tame him.
5 And he was always day and night in the sepulchres and in the mountains, crying and cutting him self with stones.
6 And seeing JESUS a far off, he ran and adored him:
7 And crying with a great voice, said: What to me and thee JESUS, the Son of God most high: I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him: Go out of the man thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, what is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion; because we are many.
10 And he besought him much, that he would not expel him out of the country.
11 And there was there about the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12 And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And JESUS immediately granted unto them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.
14 And they that fed them, fled and carried news into the city and into the fields. And they went forth to see what was done:
15 And they come to JESUS, and they see him that was vexed of the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits: & they were afraid.
16 And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt withal that had the devil; & of the swine.
17 And they began to desire him, that he would depart from their coasts.
18 And when he went up into the boat, he that had been vexed of the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him:
19 And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thine, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy upon thee.
20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things JESUS had done to him: and all marveled.
