Contextual Overview
22One day, Jesus jumped in a boat and they headed for the other side of the lake.
23As they sailed, Jesus put his hat down over his eyes and went to sleep. A huge storm swept in and they were about to be capsized.
24The disciples were frettin' and fearin' that this was gonna be the end of them all. They finally woke Jesus up by shakin' him and saying, "Jesus, save us! We're gonna drown!"Jesus got up, stretched, and told the wind to shut up and the waves to sit down . . . and they did.
25He asked them, "Where is your faith during the storm?"The hands were shocked, stunned, and amazed and asked, "What kind of hombre is this? Even the wind and the waves listen at him!"
26The next day, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes on other side of the lake.
27They had no more than got both feet on the ground when a naked man possessed by an evil spirit started trotting out of the cemetery to go and talk to them. He lived among the tombs because he wouldn't stay in a house.
28When he saw Jesus, he ran out and bowed real low in front of him. With an unearthly shriek, he yelled, "Why have you come to stop me, Son of God? By God's good name, please don't torture me."
29Jesus had already told the spirit to leave the man. When he was put in chains and shackles, he snapped them like paper. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Then the demon would force the man into the desert.
30Jesus asked, "What do they call you?"The demon responded, "They call me Legion. We are too many to count."
31They begged Jesus not to send them to hell.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Then: By this was fully evinced the sovereign power of our Lord, and the reality of diabolical agency; "for," says Dr. Doddridge, "it was self-evident that a herd of swine could not be confederates in any fraud; their death, therefore, in this instructive circumstance, was ten thousand times a greater blessing to mankind than if they had been slain for food, as was intended."
the herd: John 8:44, 1 Peter 5:8, Revelation 9:11
Reciprocal: Leviticus 11:7 - swine Job 1:12 - So Satan Job 38:11 - but Matthew 8:32 - the whole John 13:27 - Satan
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then went the devils out of the man,.... Being obliged by the power of Christ, sore against their wills, having had possession of him a long time:
and entered into the swine; possessed them:
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake; that is of Gennesaret; or the sea, as the Syriac and Persic versions read; that is, the sea of Galilee, the same with the former:
and were choked; in the waters, and died, as the Ethiopic version adds.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the Matthew 8:23-34 notes, and Mark 5:1-20 notes.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine — Some critics and commentators would have us to understand all this of the man himself, who, they say, was a most outrageous maniac; and that, being permitted by our Lord, he ran after the swine, and drove them all down a precipice into the sea! This is solemn trifling indeed; or, at least, trifling with solemn things. It is impossible to read over the account, as given here by Luke, and admit this mode of explanation. The devils went out of the man, and entered into the swine; i.e. the madman ran after the swine! On this plan of interpretation there is nothing certain in the word of God; and every man may give it what meaning he pleases. Such comments are intolerable.
