My name is Legion

Saint Mark - Chapter 5

Valley of Hinnom. J-J Tissot

[1] Et venerunt trans fretum maris in regionem Gerasenorum.
And they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.

[2] Et exeunti ei de navi, statim occurrit de monumentis homo in spiritu immundo,
And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,

[3] qui domicilium habebat in monumentis, et neque catenis jam quisquam poterat eum ligare :
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.

My name is Legion. J-J Tissot

[4] quoniam saepe compedibus et catenis vinctus, dirupisset catenas, et compedes comminuisset, et nemo poterat eum domare :
For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.

[5] et semper die ac nocte in monumentis, et in montibus erat, clamans, et concidens se lapidibus.
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.

[6] Videns autem Jesum a longe, cucurrit, et adoravit eum :
And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.

[7] et clamans voce magna dixit : Quid mihi et tibi, Jesu Fili Dei altissimi? adjuro te per Deum, ne me torqueas.
And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.

[8] Dicebat enim illi : Exi spiritus immunde ab homine.
For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

[9] Et interrogabat eum : Quod tibi nomen est? Et dicit ei : Legio mihi nomen est, quia multi sumus.
And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.

[10] Et deprecabatur eum multum, ne se expelleret extra regionem.
And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
