Jesus , son of the most high God ? I adjure thee by God , not to torment me . " ( For [ Jesus ] had said unto him : " Come , ¦ tfto . u unclean spirit , out of the man . ) Then [ Jesus ] asked him : " What is thy name ? " And he saith unto him : " Legion is my name , for we are many , " [ This may probably account for more than one demoniac being mentioned by Matthew , who was not an eye =-witness- ~ of ^ the---fact . ]—And-he-besoug-ht-fJesusl-mueh-ne t— to
send them out of the country . Now there was there by the mountain a great herd of swine feeding . The demons therefore besought him , saying : 6 ( Send us into the swine , that we may enter into them , " And immediately Jesus suffered them . So the unclean spirits came out of [ the man , ] and entered into the swine ; whereupon the herd rushed down the precipice into the sea , ( there were about two thousand , ) and were drowned in the sea .

For oftentimes it had seized him , and he had been kept bound with chains and fetters ; but he brake the bonds , and' . was driven by the demon into desert places . ) Then Jesus asked him , saying : " What is thy name ?

[ Jesus ] not to command them to go into the abyss [ i . e . the bottomless pit , or place of punishment , which it was vulgarly supposed awaited them ] , Now there was there a herd of several swine feeding on the mountain ; they therefore besought him to suffer them to enter into them ; and he suffered them .
