4 He had often been put in chains and leg irons, but he broke the chains and smashed the leg irons. No one could control him.
5 Night and day he was in the graveyard or on the hills, yelling and cutting himself with stones.
6 When the man saw Jesus in the distance, he ran up to him and knelt down.
7 He shouted, “Jesus, Son of God in heaven, what do you want with me? Promise me in God's name that you won't torture me!”
8 The man said this because Jesus had already told the evil spirit to come out of him.
9 Jesus asked, “What is your name?”The man answered, “My name is Lots, because I have ‘lots’ of evil spirits.”
10 He then begged Jesus not to send them away.
