Mark 5:7

Mark 5:7

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.

7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I ^aimplore You by God that You do not torment me.”

8 For He said to him, ^a“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

11 Now a large herd of ^aswine was feeding there near the mountains.

What have I to do with thee - Or, What is it to thee and me, or why dost thou trouble thyself with me? See on Mark 1:24 (note), and Matthew 8:29 (note), where the idiom and meaning are explained.

Jesus - This is omitted by four MSS., and by several in Luke 8:28, and by many of the first authority in Matthew 8:29 (note). See the note on this latter place.
