27 E quando ele desceu à terra, veio da cidade ao seu encontro um homem, que havia muito tempo que tinha demônios, e não andava vestido, nem habitava em casa nenhuma, mas sim, nos sepulcros.

28 Ele viu Jesus, então exclamou, prostrou-se diante dele, e disse com grande voz: “O que eu tenho contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes.”

29 Porque ele havia mandado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois muitas vezes apoderava-se dele. E o mantinham preso com cadeias e grilhões; porém ele quebrava o que lhe prendia, e era conduzido pelo demônio aos desertos.
