1 Jesus and his disciples arrived on the other side of Lake Galilee, in the territory of Gerasa.
2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, he was met by a man who came out of the burial caves there. This man had an evil spirit in him
3 and lived among the tombs. Nobody could keep him tied with chains any more;
4 many times his feet and his hands had been tied, but every time he broke the chains and smashed the irons on his feet. He was too strong for anyone to control him.
