Mark 5:2-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean(A) spirit(B) came out of the tombs(C) and met Him. 3 He lived in the tombs.(D) No one was able to restrain him anymore—even with chains(E)— 4 because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had snapped off the chains and smashed(F) the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue(G) him. 5 And always, night(H) and day, he was crying out among the tombs(I) and in the mountains(J) and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me,[a] Jesus, Son(K) of the Most High God?(L) I beg[b] You before God, don’t torment(M) me!” 8 For He had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean(N) spirit!”(O)
9 “What is your name?” He asked him.
“My name is Legion,”[c](P) he answered Him, “because we are many.” 10 And he kept begging Him not to send them out of the region.
