mnt - Mark:5:1-20

mnt@Mark:5:1 @ Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;

mnt@Mark:5:2 @ and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,

mnt@Mark:5:3 @ who lived among the tombs.

mnt@Mark:5:4 @ Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.

mnt@Mark:5:5 @ And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.

mnt@Mark:5:6 @ As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,

mnt@Mark:5:7 @ and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"

mnt@Mark:5:8 @ For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."

mnt@Mark:5:9 @ He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."

mnt@Mark:5:10 @ Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.

mnt@Mark:5:11 @ Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.

mnt@Mark:5:12 @ So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."

mnt@Mark:5:13 @ And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.

mnt@Mark:5:14 @ On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.

mnt@Mark:5:15 @ When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.

mnt@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

mnt@Mark:5:17 @ Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.

mnt@Mark:5:18 @ As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

mnt@Mark:5:19 @ "Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."

mnt@Mark:5:20 @ So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.
