7 And all through Gadara were men obsessed, and there was no one strong enough to bring relief.
8 That they might meet these hidden foes and learn the way to dispossess the evil ones the master took the foreign masters and the twelve into the tombs.
9 And as they neared the gates they met a man obsessed. A legion of the unclean ones were in this man, and they had made him strong;
10 And none could bind him down, no, not with chains; for he could break the stoutest chains, and go his way.
11 Now, unclean spirits cannot live in light; they revel in the dark.
12 When Jesus came he brought the light of life, and all the evil spirits were disturbed.
13 The leader of the legion in the man called out, Thou Jesus, thou Immanuel, we beg that thou wilt not consign it to the depths. Torment us not before our time.
14 And Jesus said, What is your number and your name?
15 The evil spirit said, Our name is legion, and our number is the number of the beast.
16 And Jesus spoke; and with a voice that shook the very hills, he said, Come forth; possess this man no more.
