दूर से ही जब उसने मसीह येशु को देखा, वह दौड़ कर उनके पास आया, अपना सिर झुकाया और उसमें से उँची आवाज़ में ये शब्द सुनाई दिए, “परमप्रधान परमेश्वर के पुत्र येशु! मेरा आपका कोई लेन-देन नहीं. आपको परमेश्वर की शपथ, मुझे कोई कष्ट न दें,” क्योंकि मसीह येशु उसे आज्ञा दे चुके थे, “ओ दुष्टात्मा, इस मनुष्य में से निकल आ!”

तब मसीह येशु ने उससे प्रश्न किया, “क्या नाम है तेरा?”

प्रेत ने उत्तर दिया, “सेना—क्योंकि हम बहुत हैं.” 10 प्रेत मसीह येशु से विनती करने लगा कि वह उसे उस प्रदेश से बाहर न भेजें.

11 वहीं पहाड़ी पर सूअरों का एक विशाल झुण्ड चर रहा था. 12 प्रेत-समूह ने मसीह येशु से विनती की, “हमें इन सूअरों में भेज दीजिए कि हम उनमें जा बसें.” 13 मसीह येशु ने उन्हें यह आज्ञा दे दी. वे प्रेत बाहर निकल कर उन सूअरों में प्रवेश कर गए. लगभग दो हज़ार सूअरों का वह झुण्ड पहाड़ की तीव्र ढलान पर तेज़ गति से दौड़ता हुआ झील में जा डूबा.

14 भयभीत रखवाले भाग गए तथा नगर और पास के क्षेत्रों में जा कर इस घटना के विषय में बताने लगे. नगरवासी, जो कुछ हुआ था, उसे देखने वहाँ आने लगे. 15 जब वे मसीह येशु के पास पहुँचे, उन्होंने देखा कि वह प्रेतात्मा से पीड़ित व्यक्ति वस्त्र धारण किए हुए सचेत स्थिति में वहाँ बैठा था. यह वही व्यक्ति था जिसमें प्रेतों की सेना पैठी थी. यह देख वे डर गए. 16 सारे घटनाक्रम को देखने वाले लोगों ने उनके सामने इसका बयान किया कि प्रेतात्मा से पीड़ित व्यक्ति तथा सूअरों के साथ क्या-क्या हुआ है. 17 इस पर वे मसीह येशु से विनती करने लगे कि वह उनके क्षेत्र से बाहर चले जाएँ.

18 जब मसीह येशु नाव पर सवार हो रहे थे, प्रेतों से विमुक्त हुआ व्यक्ति मसीह येशु से विनती करने लगा कि उसे उनके साथ ले लिया जाए. 19 मसीह येशु ने उसे इसकी अनुमति नहीं दी परन्तु उसे आदेश दिया, “अपने परिजनों के पास लौट जाओ और उन्हें बताओ कि तुम्हारे लिए प्रभु ने कैसे-कैसे आश्चर्यकाम किए हैं तथा तुम पर उनकी कैसी कृपादृष्टि हुई है.” 20 वह देकापोलीस नगर में गया और उन कामों का वर्णन करने लगा, जो मसीह येशु ने उसके लिए किए थे. यह सुन सभी चकित रह गए.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

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.

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

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.

When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I (A)implore[a] You by God that You do not torment me.”

For He said to him, (B)“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” Then He asked him, “What is your name?”

And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

11 Now a large herd of (C)swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And [b]at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been (D)demon-possessed and had the legion, (E)sitting and (F)clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then (G)they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

18 And when He got into the boat, (H)he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit 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 And he departed and began to (I)proclaim in [c]Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all (J)marveled.
