2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man of the tombs, with an unclean spirit, 3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; 4 because many times he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken in pieces by him, and the fetters shattered; neither could anyone tame him.
