1And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.
3He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;
4Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
5And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;
7And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.
