Mark 5:1-8 ▼

1 And they went beyond the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And to him coming out of the ship, quickly a man met him from the monuments with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had a dwelling among the monuments; and neither with chains could any one bind him:

4 For he had been bound many times with fetters and chains, and the chains were torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and none could tame him.

5 And always, night and day, was he in the mountains, and among the monuments, crying, and mangling himself with stones.

6 And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him.

7 And having cried with a great voice, he said, What to me and thee, Jesus, O Son of God most high I adjure thee by God, that thou torture me not.

8 For he said to him, Come forth out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
