Mark 5:1-8 ▼

1 They arrived then to the other side of the sea, in the country of the Gadarenes.

2 and as soon as Jesus was come out of the ship, he met a demoniack, who came from among the tombs, where he haunted,

3 no man being able to confine him, no not with chains:

4 for having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had wrench'd his chains, and broke his fetters, so that no body could tame him.

5 night and day he was in the mountains, howling among the tombs, and hacking his flesh with flints.

6 but when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and prostrated himself before him.

7 and crying with a loud voice, said, "what injury have I done you, Jesus, thou son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, not to torment me."

8 (for Jesus had said to him, "come out of the man, thou impure spirit.")
