Mark 5 — Context

3

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

4

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.

5

And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6

And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

7

And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

8

For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

9

And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.
