「イエスまた「なんぢの名は何か」と問ひ給へば「わが名はレギオン、我ら多きが故なり」と答へ、また己らを此の地の外に逐ひやり給はざらんことを切に求む。彼處の山邊に豚の大なる群、食しゐたり。惡鬼どもイエスに求めて言ふ「われらを遣して豚に入らしめ給へ」イエス許したまふ。穢れし靈いでて、豚に入りたれば、二千匹ばかりの群、海に向ひて崖を駆けくだり、海に溺れたり。」

[《And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.》
Mark 5:9-13]
