THE MESSAGE
They sailed on to the country of the Gerasenes, directly opposite Galilee. As he stepped out onto land, a madman from town met him; he was a victim of demons. He hadn't worn clothes for a long time, nor lived at home; he lived in the cemetery. When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell before him, and bellowed, "What business do you have messing with me? You're Jesus, Son of the High God, but don't give me a hard time!" (The man said this because Jesus had started to order the unclean spirit out of him.) Time after time the demon threw the man into convulsions. He had been placed under constant guard and tied with chains and shackles, but crazed and driven wild by the demon, he would shatter the bonds.

Contextual Overview
22 NOW it was on one of the days that Jeshu ascended and sat in a vessel and his disciples: and he said to them, Let us pass to the other side of the water. 23 But as they went, Jeshu himself slept. And there became a storm of wind on the water, and nigh was the vessel to be swallowed up. 24 And they approached (and) awoke him, saying to him, Our master, our master, we perish ! But he arose and rebuked the winds and the waves of the sea; and they quieted, and there was a calm. 25 And he said to them, Where is your faith ? But they, afraid, wondered, saying one with another, Who is this that also commandeth the winds, and to whom the waves and the sea are obedient ? 26 And they went forward and came to the country of the Godroyee, which is over against Galila. 27 And when he had gone forth to the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had a devil in him a great time, and (who) wore no clothes, and in a house dwelt not, but in the place of the buried. 28 But when he saw Jeshu, he cried out, and fell before him, and said in a high voice, What to us and to thee, Jeshu, son of Aloha Marima ? [fn] I beseech of thee, torment me not. 29 For Jeshu commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man. For long [fn] was the time that he had been enthralled of him; and (when) bound with chains, and kept with fetters, he had burst asunder his bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the waste. 30 And Jeshu demanded of him, What is thy name ? He saith to him, Legion: because that many devils had entered into him. 31 And they besought from him that he would not cast them out to go into the abyss.
