⁹ Then He asked him, “What is your name?”

And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

³⁰ Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”

And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him.

¹⁵ Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been ^(A)demon-possessed and had the legion, ^(B)sitting and ^(C)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

⁵³ Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with ^(A)more than twelve legions of angels?

^21 (A)When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. ²² But ^(B)when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his ^[a]spoils. ^23 (C)He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

An Unclean Spirit Returns^(D)

^24 (E)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ ²⁵ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. ²⁶ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and ^(F)the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

⁴⁵ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; ^(A)and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
