Jesus ,
Son of the most high God ?
I beseech thee ,
do not torment me .

For many times it seized him ,
and he was bound with chains ,
and kept in fetters ;
and breaking the bonds ,
he was driven by the devil into the deserts .

saying :
What is thy name ?
But he said :

and entered into the swine ;
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake ,

and they were afraid .

out of whom the devils were departed ,

and tell how great things God hath done to thee .
And he went through the whole city ,
publishing how great things Jesus had done to him .
