Luke 8:27-33 ▼

27 And a certain man from the city, who a long time had demons, and did not wear clothing, and did not remain in the house, but in the tombs; met Him having come to the land.

28 And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray thee torment me not.

29 For He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for since a long time he had possessed him, and he was frequently bound, secured with chains and fetters, and smashing his bonds, was driven by the demons into the desert.

30 And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him.

31 And he continued to intreat Him that He should not command them to depart into the abyss.

32 And there was a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain: and they continued to intreat Him that He should permit them to go into them. And He permitted them.

33 And the demons having come out from the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and were strangled.
