Mark 5:1-5

New Life Version

Demons Ask Jesus to Let Them Live in Pigs ^(A)

5 Jesus and His followers came to the other side of the sea to the country of the Gerasenes. ² He got out of the boat. At once a man came to Him from among the graves. This man had a demon. ³ He lived among the graves. No man could tie him, even with chains. ⁴ Many times he had been tied with chains on his feet. He had broken the chains as well as the irons from his hands and legs. No man was strong enough to keep him tied. ⁵ Night and day he was among the graves and in the mountains. He would cry out and cut himself with stones.
