The man with demons, in the country of the Gadarenes

거라사인의 땅에서 귀신 들린 자를 고치심

Luke 8:26–39: they arrive at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. When Jesus steps ashore, a certain man out of the city who has had demons for a long time meets him; he wears no clothes and does not live in a house, but in the tombs. When the man sees Jesus, he cries out and falls down before him, and with a loud voice says, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!” For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man: the unclean spirit had often seized the man, and he was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters, and breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert. Jesus asks him, “What is your name?” He says, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him. They beg Jesus that he would not command them to go into the abyss. A herd of many pigs is feeding there on the mountain, and they beg him to allow them to enter into those, and he allows them. The demons come out of the man and enter into the pigs, and the herd rushes down the steep bank into the lake and is drowned. When those who fed them see what has happened, they flee and tell it in the city and in the country. People go out to see what has happened; they come to Jesus and find the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they are afraid. Those who saw it tell them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed, and all the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes ask Jesus to depart from them, for they are very much afraid. Jesus enters into the boat and returns. The man from whom the demons had gone out begs that he might go with him, but Jesus sends him away, saying, “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” The man goes his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
