2. And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3. who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
4. because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
5. And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6. And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
7. and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
8. For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
9. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, 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.
