Luke 8:31 Context
29(For he had commanded the vncleane spirit to come out of the man: For oftentimes it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chaines, and in fetters: and he brake the bands, and was driuen of the deuil into the wildernesse.) 30And Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many deuils were entred into him. 31And they besought him, that he would not command them to goe out into the deepe. 32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountaine: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them: and he suffered them. 33Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the herd ran violently downe a steepe place into the lake, and were choked.
