Luke 8:26–37

²⁶And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. ²⁷And as he got out of the ship on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs. ²⁸But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not. ²⁹For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts. ³⁰And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him. ³¹And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit. ³²And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them. ³³And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked. ³⁴But they that fed them, seeing what had happened, fled, and told it to the city and to the country. ³⁵And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid. ³⁶And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed. ³⁷And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and he, entering into the ship, returned.
