Luke 8:30

Context
8:30 Jesus then 1  asked him, “What is your name?” He 2  said, “Legion,” 3  because many demons had entered him.

1 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to pick up the sequence of the narrative prior to the parenthetical note by the author.

2 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

3 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.
