s 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.) (9)And he interrogated him,
What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are
many. (10)And he entreated him much that he would not send them out of
the country. (11)And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the
mountain: (12)and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
swine, that we may enter into them. (13)And immediately Jesus permitted
them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and
the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were
about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. (14)Then the
swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the
country. And they went out to see what was done. (15)And they came to
Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed,
and in his sound mind: and they were afraid. (16)And they who saw the
transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and
concerning the swine. (17)And they began to entreat him to depart out
of their coasts.

(18)And when he embarked on board the vessel, the demoniac besought
him, that he might go with him. (19)But Jesus did not permit him, but
said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how
great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on
thee. (20)And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what
great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

(21)And when Jesus had passed over again in the vessel to the other
side, a vast multitude came together unto him; and he was by the sea
side. (22)And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the
synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, (23)and
entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last
gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover,
and she shall live. (24)And he went with him: and there followed him a
great crowd, and they thronged him. (25)And
