Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:2 - And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:3 - who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him,[fn] not even with chains,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:4 - because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:5 - And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 5:25 - Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
