And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,</span> <span id="en-ESV-24365" class="text Mark-5-4"><sup class="versenum">4 </sup>for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.</span> <span id="en-ESV-24366" class="text Mark-5-5"><sup class="versenum">5 </sup>Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.</span> <span id="en-ESV-24367" class="text Mark-5-6"><sup class="versenum">6 </sup>And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.</span> <span id="en-ESV-24368" class="text Mark-5-7"><sup class="versenum">7 </sup>And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.”</span> <span id="en-ESV-24369" class="text Mark-5-8"><sup class="versenum">8 </sup>For he was saying to him, <span class="woj">“Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”</span></span> <span id="en-ESV-24370" class="text Mark-5-9"><sup class="versenum">9 </sup>And Jesus asked him, <span class="woj">“What is your name?”</span> He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”</span> <span id="en-ESV-24371" class="text Mark-5-10"><sup class="versenum">10 </sup>And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.</span> <span id="en-ESV-24372" class="text Mark-5-11"><sup class="versenum">11 </sup>Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside,</span> <span id="en-ESV-24373" class="text Mark-5-12"><sup class="versenum">12 </sup>and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.”</span> <span id="en-ESV-24374" class="text Mark-5-13"><sup class="versenum">13 </sup>So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.</span></p> <p><span id="en-ESV-24375" class="text Mark-5-14"><sup class="versenum">14 </sup>The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country.
