2. Just as Jesus was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs and met him.
3. He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
4. For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5. Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.
7. Then he cried out with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I implore you by God – do not torment me!”
8. (For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of that man, you unclean spirit!”)
