Mark 5:1-8 ▼

1 And they came beyond the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes,

2 And a man from the tombs, with an unclean spirit met Him, having come out of the ship;

3 who had his dwelling among the tombs: neither was any one able to bind him with chains;

4 because frequently he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were slipped off by him, and the fetters torn to pieces.

5 No one was able to tame him: and all the time, night and day, he was among the tombs in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 And seeing Jesus a great way off, he ran to Him, and worshiped Him;

7 and crying with a loud voice, he says, What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee in the name of God, that you may not torment me.

8 For He said to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.
