For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.
