and crying out with a great voice he said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!"

Then they began to implore Him to go away from their region.

What shall I render to the Lord for all the things in which He has rewarded me?

Now the man from whom the demons had come out was begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

"Return to your house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city all the things that Jesus did for him.

And one of them, seeing that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,

So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where [are] the nine?

Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom."

And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."

For I am hard pressed by the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.

But to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
