| Matt. VIII.
29 And, behold,
they cried out, say-
ing, What have we
to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son
of God? art thou
come hither to tor-
ment us before the
time?
30 And there was
a good way off from
them an herd of
many swine feed-
ing.
31. So the devils
besought him, say-
ing, If thou cast
us out, suffer us to
go away into the
herd of swine.
32 And he said
untothem, Go. And
when they were
come out, they went
into the herd of
swine: and, be-
hold, the whole
herd of swine ran
violently down a
steep place into the
sea, and perished
in the waters.
33 And they that
kept them fled, and
went their ways
into the city, and
told every thing,
and what was be-
fallen to the pos-
sessed of the de-
vils.
34 And, behold,
the whole city came
out to meet Jesus:
and when they saw
him, they besought
him that he would
depart out of their
coasts.

fetters broken in pieces: neither could any
man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was
in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying,
and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he
ran and worshipped him,
7 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.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of
the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name?
And he answered, saying, My name is
Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he
would not send them away out of the
country.
11. Now there was there nigh unto the
mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him,
saying, Send us into the swine, that we
may enter into them.
13 And 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.
14 And 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.
15 And 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.
16 And they that saw it told them how
it befell to him that was possessed with
the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart
out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship,
he that had been possessed with the devil
prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but
saith unto him, Go home to thy friends,
and tell them how great things the Lord
hath done for thee, and hath had compas-
sion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish
in Decapolis how great things Jesus had
done for him: and all men did marvel.
21 And when Jesus was passed over
again by ship unto the other side, much
people gathered unto him: and he was
nigh unto the sea.

of God most high? I beseech thee,
torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the
unclean spirit to come out of the
man. For oftentimes it had caught
him; and he was kept bound with
chains and in fetters; and he brake
the bands, and was driven of the
devil into wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him saying,
What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were
entered into him.
31 And they besought him that
he would not command them to go
out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd
of many swine feeding on the moun-
tain: and they besought him that
he would suffer them to enter into
them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the
man, and entered into the swine; and
the herd ran violently down a steep
place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw
what was done, they fled, and went
and told it in the city and in the
country.
35. Then they went out to see what
was done; and came to Jesus, and
found the man, out of whom the
devils were departed, sitting at the
feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his
right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told
them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of
the country of the Gadarenes round
about besought him to depart from
them; for they were taken with great
fear: and he went up into the ship,
and returned back again.
38. Now the man out of whom the
devils were departed besought him
that he might be with him: but
Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and
show how great things God hath
done unto thee. And he went his
way, and published throughout the
whole city how great things Jesus
had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that,
when Jesus was returned, the peo-
ple gladly received him: for they
were all waiting for him.
