Mark 5:6-10

    When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name do not torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!"

    Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"

    "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

 

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name do not torture me!" For Jesus has said to him, "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!" 

Matthew 8:29  "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

Luke 8:28-29  When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!" For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

Mark 1:23-24  Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"  

(see Mark 1:21-28, also Luke 4:31-37)

 

Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"  "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. 

Luke 8:30-31  Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"

    "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

Revelation 9:1-2  The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.  (see Revelation 9:1-11)

Revelation 20:1  And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.  (see Revelation 20:1-6)
