They came to the other side of the sea ,
into the country of the Gerasenes .
nasb @
Mark:5:2 @
When He got out of the boat ,
immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him ,
nasb @
Mark:5:3 @
and he had his dwelling among the tombs .
And no one was able to bind him anymore ,
even with a chain ;
nasb @
Mark:5:4 @
because he had often been bound with shackles and chains ,
and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces ,
and no one was strong enough to subdue him .
nasb @
Mark:5:5 @
Constantly ,
night and day ,
he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains ,
and gashing himself with stones .
nasb @
Mark:5:6 @
Seeing Jesus from a distance ,
he ran up and bowed down before Him ;
nasb @
Mark:5:7 @
and shouting with a loud voice ,
he said , "
What business do we have with each other ,
Jesus ,
Son of the Most High God ?
I implore You by God ,
do not torment me !"
nasb @
Mark:5:8 @
For He had been saying to him , "
Come out of the man ,
you unclean spirit !"
nasb @
Mark:5:9 @
And He was asking him , "
What is your name ?"
And he said to Him , "
My name is Legion ;
for we are many ."
nasb @
Mark:5:10 @
And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country .
nasb @
Mark:5:11 @
Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain .
nasb @
Mark:5:12 @
The demons implored Him ,
saying , "
Send us into the swine so that we may enter them ."
nasb @
Mark:5:13 @
Jesus gave them permission .
And coming out ,
the unclean spirits entered the swine ;
and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea ,
about two thousand of them ;
and they were drowned in the sea .
nasb @
Mark:5:14 @
Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country .
And the people came to see what it was that had happened .
nasb @
Mark:5:15 @
They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down ,
clothed and in his right mind ,
the very man who had had the "
legion ";
and they became frightened .
nasb @
Mark:5:16 @
Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man ,
and all about the swine .
nasb @
Mark:5:17 @
And they began to implore Him to leave their region .
nasb @
Mark:5:18 @
As He was getting into the boat ,
the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him .
nasb @
Mark:5:19 @
And He did not let him ,
but He said to him , "
Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you ,
and how He had mercy on you ."
nasb @
Mark:5:20 @
And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him ;
and everyone was amazed .
