A Man with Demons Inside Him^(A)

²⁶ ·Jesus and his followers [^LThey] sailed across the lake from Galilee to the area of the Gerasene^[a] people [^CGerasa was southeast of Lake Galilee; the exact location is uncertain]. ²⁷ When Jesus got out on the land, a man from the town who ·had demons inside him [was possessed by demons] came to Jesus. For a long time he had worn no clothes and had lived in the ·burial caves [tombs], not in a house. ²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he ·cried out [shouted; shrieked] and fell down before him. He said with a loud voice, “·What do you want with me [Leave me alone; What business do we have with each other; ^LWhat to me and to you], Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t ·torture [torment] me!”
