CH. VIII. 26-40.
26 And they arrived at the
country of the Gadarenes,
which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to
land, there met him out of the
city a certain man, which had
devils long time, and ware no
clothes, neither abode in
_any_ house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried
out, and fell down before him,
and with a loud voice said,
What have I to do with thee,
Jesus, _thou_ Son of God most
high? I beseech thee torment
me not.
29 (For he had commanded the
unclean spirit to come out of
the man. For oftentimes it had
caught him: and he was kept
bound with chains, and in
fetters; and he brake the
bands, and was driven of the
devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? And
he said, Legion: because many
devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him, that
he would not command them to
go out into the deep.
32 And there was there a herd
of many swine feeding on the
mountain: and they besought
him that he would suffer them
to enter into them. And he
suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of
the man, and entered into the
swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place
into the lake, and were
choked.
34 When they that fed _them_
saw what was done, they fled,
and went and told _it_ in the
city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see
what was done; and came to
Jesus, and found the man out
of whom the devils were
departed, sitting at the feet
of Jesus,(165) clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were
afraid.
36 They also which saw _it_,
told them by what means he
that was possessed of the
devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of
the country of the Gadarenes
round about, besought him to
depart from them; for they
were taken with great fear.
And he went up into the ship,
and returned back again.
38 Now, the man out of whom
the devils were departed,
besought him that he might be
with him. But Jesus sent him
away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house,
and shew how great things God
hath done unto thee. And he
went his way and published
throughout the whole city, how
great things Jesus had done
unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that,
when Jesus was returned, the
people _gladly_ received him:
for they were all waiting for
him.
