The demoniac of the Gadarenes
Luke 8:26-39
26And they sailed down to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27And when he stepped out onto the land, a certain man from the town who had demons met him; and for a long time he had not worn clothing, and he was not living in a house but in the tombs. 28And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” 29For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserted places. 30And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31And they were begging him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the hillside; and they begged him to permit them to enter into them; and he permitted them. 33And coming out of the man, the demons entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34And when those who were tending them saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside. 35And they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed. 37And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to go away from them, because they were gripped with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned. 38But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging him to be with him; but he sent him away, saying, 39“Return to your home, and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
28And when he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two men possessed by demons met him, coming out of the tombs, so violent that no one could pass along that road. 29And look, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” 30Now at a distance from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding. 31And the demons were begging him, saying, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs; and look, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters. 33And those who were tending them fled, and going away into the town, they reported everything, including what had happened to those possessed by demons. 34And look, the whole town came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to move away from their region.
1And they came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes. 2And when he had come out of the boat, at once a man with an unclean spirit met him from the tombs. 3He had his dwelling among the tombs, and no one could bind him any longer, not even with a chain, 4because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5And always, night and day, among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6And seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him; 7and crying out with a loud voice, he says, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me!” 8For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9And he was asking him, “What is your name?” And he says to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10And he was begging him earnestly not to send them out of the region. 11Now there was there on the mountainside a large herd of pigs feeding; 12and they begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter into them.” 13And he gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered into the pigs, and the herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowning in the sea. 14And those who tended them fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside; and people came to see what it was that had happened. 15And they come to Jesus and see the demon-possessed man sitting, clothed and in his right mind, the one who had had the legion; and they were afraid. 16And those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs. 17And they began to beg him to go away from their region. 18And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him that he might be with him. 19And he did not let him, but says to him, “Go to your home, to your own, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and had mercy on you.” 20And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
34And when those who were tending them saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
