Then they came to the other side of the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:2 - And when He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:3 - who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:4 - because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:5 - And constantly, night and day, among the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out and gashing himself with stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:6 - And seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:7 - and crying out with a loud voice, he *said, “[fn]What do I have to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:8 - For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:9 - And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:11 - Now there was a large herd of swine feeding [fn]nearby on the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:12 - And the demons pleaded with Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:13 - And Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:14 -

And their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:15 - And they *came to Jesus and *observed the demon-possessed man sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had the “legion”; and they became frightened.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:16 - And those who had seen it recounted to them how this had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:17 - And they began to plead with Him to leave their region.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:18 - And as He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was pleading with Him that he might [fn]accompany Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:19 - And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them [fn]what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:20 - And he went away and began to preach in the Decapolis [fn]what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was marveling.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:26 - and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:38 - And they *came to the house of the synagogue official; and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly crying and wailing.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:39 - And entering in, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and crying? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
