¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
