This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Ver. 9. My name is Legion] That is, a multitude. A legion was commonly among the Romans, saith Isidore, 6000 armed soldiers: 6666, saith Hesychius. So many devils were gotten in one poor man.
