Marcos 5

1 And they came over the sea into the country of Gadarenes.

2 And after that he was gone out of the boat, anon a man in an unclean spirit ran out of the burials to him.

3 Which man had an house in burials [or in graves], and neither with chains now might any man bind him.

4 For oft times he was bound in stocks and chains, and he had broken the chains, and had broken the stocks to small gobbets, and no man might make him tame [or might tame him].

5 And evermore, night and day, in burials, and in hills, he was crying and beating himself with stones.

6 And he saw Jesus afar, and ran, and worshipped him.

7 And he cried with great voice, and said, What to me and to thee, thou Jesus, the Son of the highest God? I conjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 And Jesus said to him, Thou unclean spirit, go out from the man.

9 And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he saith to him, A legion is my name; for we be many.

10 And he prayed Jesus much, that he should not put them out of the country.

11 And there was there about the hill a great flock of swine [or a great drove of hogs] pasturing.

12 And the spirits prayed Jesus, and said, Send us into the swine [or into the hogs], that we enter into them.

13 And anon Jesus granted to them. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine [or the hogs], and with a great rush the flock was cast headlong into the sea, a two thousand, and they were drenched or drowned in the sea.

14 And they that kept [or fed] them, fled, and told into the city, and into the fields; and they went out, to see what was done.
