   1) Mark 5:1-20, Matthew 8:28-34, Luke 8:26-39, Mark 5:21-43,   
   Matthew 9:18-26, Luke 8:40-56   
      
   Mark 5:1-20   
      
   The Healing of the Gadarene Demoniac   
   Mt 8:28-34; Lk 8:26-39   
      
   1 (Mt 8:28-34; Lk 8:26-39) They went to the other side of the sea   
   to the region of the Gadarenes.   
   2 (Mk 1:23) When He had come out of the boat, immediately a man   
   with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him.   
   3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could constrain him,   
   not even with chains,   
   4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains.   
   But he had pulled the chains apart and broken the shackles to pieces.   
   And no one could subdue him.   
   5 Always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs,   
   crying out and cutting himself with stones.   
   6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran up and kneeled before Him,   
   7 (Mt 8:29; Ac 16:17; Mt 4:3) and cried out with a loud voice,   
   "What have You to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?   
   I adjure You by God, do not torment me."   
   8 For Jesus said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"   
   9 (Mt 26:53; Lk 8:30) Then He asked him, "What is your name?"   
   He answered, "My name is Legion. For we are many."   
   10 And he begged Him repeatedly not to send them away out of the country.   
   11 Now there was a great herd of swine feeding near the mountains.   
   12 All the demons pleaded with Him, asking, "Send us to the swine,   
   so that we may enter them."   
   13 At once, Jesus gave them leave. Then the unclean spirits came out   
   and entered the swine. And the herd, numbering about two thousand,   
   ran wildly down a steep hill into the sea and were drowned in the sea.   
   14 Those who fed the swine fled and reported it in the city   
   and in the country. And people went out to see what   
   it was that had happened.   
   15 (Mk 5:9) They came to Jesus and saw him who had been possessed with   
   the legion of demons sitting and clothed and in his right mind.   
   And they were afraid.   
   16 Those who saw it told them how it befell him who had been possessed   
   with the demons and also concerning the swine.   
   17 (Ac 16:39; Mt 8:34) Then they began to plead with Him to depart   
   out of their region.   
   18 (Lk 8:38-39) When He entered the boat, he who had been possessed   
   with the demons prayed Him that he might be with Him.   
   19 (Ps 66:16) Jesus did not let him, but said to him,   
   "Go home to your friends and tell them what great things the Lord   
   has done for you and how He has had compassion on you."   
   20 (Mt 4:25; Mk 7:31) So he departed and began to proclaim in the Decapolis   
   [The Ten Cities.] what great things Jesus had done for him.   
   And everyone was amazed.   
      
   [1] And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of   
   the Gadarenes.   
   [2] And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of   
   the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,   
   [3] Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not   
   with chains:   
   [4] Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the   
   chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces:   
   neither could any man tame him.   
   [5] And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs,   
   crying, and cutting himself with stones.   
   [6] But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,   
   [7] And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee,   
   Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou   
   torment me not.   
   [8] For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.   
   [9] And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is   
   Legion: for we are many.   
   [10] And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the   
   country.   
   [11] Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine   
   feeding.   
   [12] And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that   
   we may enter into them.   
   [13] And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out,   
   and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place   
   into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.   
   [14] And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the   
   country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.   
   [15] And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil,   
   and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they   
   were afraid.   
   [16] And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed   
   with the devil, and also concerning the swine.   
   [17] And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.   
   [18] And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with   
   the   
   devil prayed him that he might be with him.   
   [19] Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy   
   friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and   
   hath had compassion on thee.   
   [20] And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things   
   Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.   
      
   Matthew 8:28-34   
      
   The Healing of the Gergesene Demoniacs   
      
   Mk 5:1-20; Lk 8:26-39   
   28 (Mk 5:1-20; Lk 8:26-39) When He came to the other side into the country   
   of the Gergesenes, there met Him two men possessed with demons,   
   coming out of the tombs, extremely fierce, so that no one might pass   
   by that way.   
   29 (Mk 1:24; Lk 4:34) Suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do   
   with You, Jesus, Son of God?   
   Have You come here to torment us before the time?"   
   30 Now a good way off from them was a herd of many swine feeding.   
   31 So the demons begged Him, saying,   
   "If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine."   
   32 He said to them, "Go!" And when they came out, they went into the herd   
   of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down   
   a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.   
   33 Those who kept them fled, and went their ways into the city,   
   and told everything, including what had happened to those possessed   
   by the demons.   
   34 (Ac 16:39; Lk 5:8) The whole city came out to meet Jesus.   
   And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart out of their region.   
      
   [28] And when he was come to the other side into the country of the   
   Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the   
   tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.   
   [29] And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee,   
   Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?   
   [30] And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.   
   [31] So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to   
   go away into the herd of swine.   
   [32] And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into   
   the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a
