This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave - In Matthew (Mat 8:32) this is given with majestic brevity - “Go!” The owners, if Jews, drove an illegal trade; if heathens, they insulted the national religion: in either case the permission was just.

And the unclean spirits went out - of the man.

and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently - rushed.

down a steep place - down the hanging cliff.

into the sea (they were about two thousand) - The number of them is given by this graphic Evangelist alone.

and were choked in the sea - “perished in the waters” (Mat 8:32).
