When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God?
I beg you, don’t torment me!”
For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
For the unclean spirit had often seized the man.
He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters.
Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
He said, “Legion,”
for many demons had entered into him.
