Mark 5 — Context

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.
