3 This man lived in the caves, and no one could tie him up, not even with a chain.
4 Many times people had used chains to tie the man’s hands and feet, but he always broke them off. No one was strong enough to control him.
5 Day and night he would wander around the burial caves and on the hills, screaming and cutting himself with stones.
6 While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him, ran to him, and fell down before him.
7 The man shouted in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I command you in God’s name not to torture me!”
8 He said this because Jesus was saying to him, “You evil spirit, come out of the man.”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”He answered, “My name is Legion, because we are many spirits.”
