Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Decía eso porque Jesús le había ordenado al espíritu maligno que saliera del hombre. Ese espíritu se había apoderado de él muchas veces. Al hombre le ponían cadenas en los pies y en las manos para sujetarlo, y lo mantenían vigilado, pero él rompía las cadenas y el demonio lo hacía huir a lugares solitarios.
