27 And he coming upon land, a certain man met him from the city, who had demons of long times, and put on no garment, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs. 28 And having seen Jesus and cried out, he fell before him, and with a great voice said, What to me and thee, Jesus, Son of God most high? I implore thee, thou wouldst not torment me. 29 For he proclaimed to the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it snatched him: and he was bound with chains, and being guarded with fetters; and bursting the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts. 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is the name to thee? And he said, Legion: for many demons came into him. 31 And he besought him that he would not command him to go away into the abyss. 32 And a herd of numerous swine was there feeding on the mount: and they besought him that he would permit them to come into the swine. And he permitted them. 33 And the demons having come out of the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.
