4 For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him.
5 And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.
7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said: 'What am I to you, Jesus, the Son of the Most High God? I beseech you by God, that you not torment me.'
8 For he said to him, 'Depart from the man, you unclean spirit.'
