Luke 8:27-29
International Standard Version
27 When Jesus[a] stepped out on the shore, a man from the city met him. This man was controlled by[b] demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and cried out in a loud voice, “What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!” 29 because Jesus[c] was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit[d] had seized the man,[e] and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.
