Denn er gebot dem unsauberen Geist, daß er von dem Menschen ausführe. Denn er hatte ihn lange Zeit geplagt, und er ward mit Ketten gebunden und mit Fesseln gefangen, und zerriß die Bande und ward getrieben von dem Teufel in die Wüsten.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he had commanded the unclean spirit..... That had the rest of the devils under his authority, and power,

to come out of the man; this he had done, either before, or just as he came up to him; :-.

For oftentimes it had caught him; possessed him, and wrought so strongly in him, and with so much fury, that there was no governing him:

and he was kept bound with chains and fetters; attempts were made to bind him, and keep him bound, but in vain: and he brake the bands;

:-.

And was driven of the devil into the wilderness: into some desert and desolate place, where were the tombs and sepulchres of the dead; this was done by the prince of the legion.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the Matthew 8:23-34 notes, and Mark 5:1-20 notes.
