5:2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

5:3Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

5:8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

5:9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

5:10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

5:11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

5:12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

5:13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. 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.
