Mark 5:3

The Demons and the Pigs

2As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.3This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.4Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
