Mark 5:9

Context
5:9 Jesus 1  asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, 2  for we are many.”

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.
