Luke:8:26-39
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes ,
which is opposite Galilee .
*
And when he went forth to land ,
there met him out of the city a certain man ,
who had demons a long time ,
and wore no clothes ,
neither abode in house ,
but in the tombs .
*
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 ,
Son of God most high ?
I beseech thee ,
torment me not .
* (
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man .
For often it had caught him :
and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters ;
and he broke the bands ,
and was driven by the demon into the wilderness .)
*
And Jesus asked him ,
saying ,
What is thy name ?
And he said ,
Legion :
because many demons had entered into him .
*
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep .
*
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain :
and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them .
And he permitted them .
*
Then the demons went out of the man ,
and entered into the swine :
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake ,
and were choked .
*
When they that fed saw what was done ,
they fled ,
and went and told in the city and in the country .
*
Then they went out to see what was done ;
and came to Jesus ,
and found the man ,
out of whom the demons had departed ,
sitting at the feet of Jesus ,
clothed ,
and in his right mind :
and they were afraid .
*
They also who saw told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed .
*
Then the whole multitude of the country of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them ;
for they were seized with great fear :
and he went into the boat ,
and returned back again .
*
Now the man out of whom the demons had departed besought him that he might be with him :
but Jesus sent him away ,
saying ,
*
Return to thy own house ,
and show what great things God hath done to thee .
And he went away ,
and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him .
