New TestamentLukeThe Healing of the Gerasene Demon-Possessed Man · 8:26–348:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.8:29 (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 the wilderness.)8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.8:33 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.8:34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
