Mark 5:6-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.

7. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: "What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me."

8. For he said to him, "Depart from the man, you unclean spirit."

9. And he questioned him: "What is your name?" And he said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

10. And he entreated him greatly, so that he would not expel him from the region.

11. And in that place, near the mountain, there was a great herd of swine, feeding.

12. And the spirits entreated him, saying: "Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them."

13. And Jesus promptly gave them permission. And the unclean spirits, departing, entered into the swine. And the herd of about two thousand rushed down with great force into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
