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.

Mark 5:2-10
King James Version
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
