Luke 8:28-32

English Standard Version

²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he ^(A)cried out and fell down before him and said ^(B)with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, ^(C)Son of ^(D)the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” ²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon ^(E)into the desert.) ³⁰ Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, ^(F)“Legion,” for many demons had entered him. ³¹ And they begged him not to command them to depart into ^(G)the abyss. ³² Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.
