28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down at his feet, and said with a loud voice, Jesus, Son of the Most High God, what do you want from me? I beg you, please don’t hurt me! ” He said this because Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to leave the man’s body. The demon had sometimes clung to the man. On such occasions, even though he had chains on his hands and feet and was kept in prison, he would break the chains and the demon would force him to go to deserted places.
