Mark

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
