²⁷ When Jesus^[a] had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house ^(A)but among the tombs.

² And when Jesus^[a] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. ^3 (A)He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, ⁴ for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. ⁵ Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.

^24 (A)And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, ^(B)“Is Saul also among the prophets?”

^16 (A)Whoever in the open field touches someone who was killed with a sword or who died naturally, or touches a human bone or a ^(B)grave, shall be unclean seven days.
