- They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
- When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.
- When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!"
- For Jesus had commanded the evil spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
- Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

- 他們到了格拉森〔有古卷入加大拉〕人的地方、就是加利利的對面。
- 耶穌上了岸、就有城裡一個被鬼附著的人、迎面而來、這個人許久不穿衣服、不住房子、只住在墳塋裡。
- 他見了耶穌、就俯伏在他面前、大聲喊叫、說、至高 神的兒子耶穌、我與你有甚麼相干.求你不要叫我受苦。
- 是因耶穌曾吩咐污鬼從那人身上出來.原來這鬼屢次抓住他、他常被人看守、又被鐵鍊和腳鐐捆鎖、他竟把鎖鍊掙斷、被鬼趕到曠野去。
- 那穌問他說、你名叫甚麼.他說、我名叫群.這是因為附著他的鬼多。
