Mark 5:2-18
When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out from the tombs to meet him.This man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with a chain.Whenever he was put into chains and shackles— as he often was— he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him.Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones.When Jesus was still some distance away, the man saw him, ran to meet him, and bowed low before him.With a shriek, he screamed,“ Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In the name of God, I beg you, don’t torture me!”For Jesus had already said to the spirit,“ Come out of the man, you evil spirit.”Then Jesus demanded,“ What is your name?” And he replied,“ My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.”Then the evil spirits begged him again and again not to send them to some distant place.There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby.“ Send us into those pigs,” the spirits begged.“ Let us enter them.”So Jesus gave them permission. The evil spirits came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd of about 2,000 pigs plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.The herdsmen fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.

He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon possessed man and the pigs.And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone.As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him.

This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power.Jesus demanded,“ What is your name?”“ Legion,” he replied, for he was filled with many demons.The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs.
