Mark 5:6-13

English Standard Version

⁶ And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and ^(A)fell down before him. ⁷ And ^(B)crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, ^(C)Son of ^(D)the Most High God? ^(E)I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” ⁸ For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” ⁹ And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is ^(F)Legion, for we are many.” ¹⁰ And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. ¹¹ Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, ¹² and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” ¹³ So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.
