Jesus Frees a Man from Evil Spirits
5 1Jesus and his followers went across the lake to the area where the Gerasene people
lived. 2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man came to him from the caves where dead
people are buried. This man had an evil spirit [from the devil] living inside of
him. 3This man lived in the burial caves. No person could tie him. Even chains
could not keep this man tied. 4Many times people had used chains to tie the man's
hands and feet. But the man broke the chains on his hands and feet. No person was
strong enough to control him. 5Day and night the man walked around the burial caves
and on the hills. The man would scream and cut himself with rocks. 6While Jesus
was far away, the man saw him. The man ran to Jesus and bowed down before him. 7-8Jesus
said to the man, "You evil spirit, come out of that man." So the man shouted with
a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg
you to promise to God that you will not punish me!" 9Then Jesus asked the man, "What
is your name?" The man answered, "My name is Legion,* because there are many spirits
inside me." 10The spirits inside the man begged Jesus again and again not to send
them out of that area. 11A large herd of pigs was eating on a hill near there. 12The
evil spirits begged Jesus, "Send us to the pigs. Let us go into them." 13So Jesus
allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. Then
the herd of pigs ran down the hill and into the lake. All the pigs were drowned.
There were about 2,000 pigs in that herd. 14The men that had the work of caring
for the pigs ran away. The men ran to the town and to the farms. They told all
the people what happened. The people went out to see what happened. 15The people
came to Jesus. They saw the man that had the many evil spirits. The man was sitting
and was wearing clothes. His mind was right again. The people were afraid. 16Some
people were there and saw what Jesus did. These people told the other people what
happened to the man that had the demons* living in him. And they also told about
the pigs. 17Then the people began to beg Jesus to leave their area. 18Jesus was
preparing to leave in the boat. The man that was freed from the demons begged to
go with Jesus. 19But Jesus did not allow the man to go. Jesus said, "Go home to
your family and friends. Tell them about all the things the Lord did for you. Tell
them that the Lord was good to you." 20So the man left and told the people in the
Ten Towns* about the great things Jesus did for him. All the people were amazed.
Legion This name means very many. A legion was about 5,000 men in the Roman army.
