Luke 8:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:33

Then went the devils out of the man
Being obliged by the power of Christ, sore against their wills, having had possession of him a long time:

and entered into the swine;
possessed them:

and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake;
that is of Gennesaret; or the sea, as the Syriac and Persic versions read; that is, the sea of Galilee, the same with the former: and were choked;
in the waters, and died, as the Ethiopic version adds.

Luke 8:33 In-Context

31 And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

32 Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

33 And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

34 And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

35 And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.
