5:1AND they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

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:

5:4Because 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.

5:5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

5:6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

5:7And 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.

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

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.

5:14And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

5:15And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

5:16And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

5:17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

5:18And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
