Mark 5:1-8 ▼

1 AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit,

3 coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains;

4 for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him:

5 and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment.

8 (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.)
