Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲗⲉⲅⲉⲱⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲉⲗⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲁϫⲣⲓⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲉⲩⲉⲣ ϣⲟ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲱϫϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ.He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲫⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⲧⲟⲓ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ.When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲣ.Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲟϣ.And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

19ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲭⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ.But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲱⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

21ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲙⲏⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲉϥⲟϣ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ.When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
