29 And behold they cryed out sayinge: O Iesu the sonne of God what have we to do with the? Art thou come hyther to torment vs before the tyme be come?
30 And ther was a good waye of from them a greate heerd of swyne fedinge.
31 Then the devyles besought him sayinge: if thou cast vs out suffre vs to go oure waye in to the heerd of swyne.
32 And he sayd vnto the: go youre wayes. Then wet they out and departed into the heerd of swyne And beholde the whoale heerd of swyne was caryed with violence hedlinge in to the see and perisshed in the water.
33 Then the heerdmen fleed and wet their ways in to the cyte and tolde every thinge and what had fortuned vnto the possessed of the devyls.
34 And beholde all the cyte came out and met Iesus. And when they sawe hym they besought hym to departe oute of their costes.

Mrk 5:1–20

1 And they cam over to the other syde of the see in to the countre of the Gaderenites.
2 And when he was come out of the shippe there met him out of the graves a man possessyd of an vncleane sprete
3 which had his abydinge amonge the graves. And no man coulde bynde him: no not with cheynes
4 because that when he was often bounde with fetters and cheynes he plucked the chaynes asundre and brake the fetters in peaces. Nether coulde eny man tame him.
5 And alwayes bothe nyght and daye he cryed in the moutaynes and in the graves and bet him silfe with stones.
6 When he had spied Iesus afarre of he rane and worshipped him
7 and cryed with a lowde voyce and sayde: what have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the moost hyest God? I requyre the in the name of God that thou torment me not.
8 For he had sayd vnto hym: come out of the man thou fowle sprete.
9 And he axed him: what is thy name? And he answered sayinge: my name is Legion for we are many.
10 And he prayd him instantly that he wolde not sende the awaye out of the countre.
11 And ther was there nye vnto the moutayns a greate heerd of swyne fedinge
12 and all the devyls besought him sayinge: sende vs into the heerde of swyne that we maye enter in to them.
13 And anone Iesus gave them leave. And the vnclene spretes wet out and entred into the swyne. And the heerd starteled and ran hedling into the see. They were about .ii.M. swyne and they were drouned in the see.
14 And the swyne heerdes fleed and tolde it in the cyte and in the countre. And they came out for to se what had hapened:
15 and came to Iesus and sawe hym that was vexed with the fende and had the legion syt both clothed and in his right mynde and were afrayed.
16 And they that sawe it tolde them how it had happened vnto him that was possessed with the devyll: and also of the swyne.
17 And they begane to praye him that he wolde departe from their coostes.
18 And when he was come in to the shyppe he that had the devyll prayed him that he myght be with him.
19 Howbeit Iesus wolde not suffre him but sayde vnto him: goo home in to thyne awne housse and to thy frendes and shewe the what great thinges the Lorde hath done vnto the and how he had compassion on the.
20 And he departed and begane to publisshe in the ten cyties what greate thinges Iesus had done vnto him and all me dyd merveyle.

26 And they sayled vnto the region of the Gaderenites which is over agaynst Galile.
27 And as he went out to londe ther met him a certayne man out of the cite which had a devyll longe tyme and ware noo clothes nether aboode in eny housse: but amonge graves.
28 When he sawe Iesus he cryed and fell doune before him and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not.
29 Then he commaunded the foule sprete to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him and he was bounde with chaynes and kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes and was caryed of the fende into wyldernes.
30 And Iesus axed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion because many devyls were entred into him.
31 And they besought him that he wolde not commaunde the to goo out into the depe.
32 And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne fedynge on an hyll: and they besought him that he wolde soffre the to enter into them. And he soffred them.
33 Then went the devyls out of the man and entred into the swyne: And the heerd toke their course and ran heedlynge into the lake and were choked.
34 When the herdmen sawe what had chaunsed they fleed and tolde it in the cite and in the villages.
35 And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus and founde the man out of who the devyls were departed sittynge at the fete of Iesus clothed and in his right mynde and they were afrayde.
