Mark 5:8

Spiritual warfare

6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7 And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
