Luke 8:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:28

When he saw Jesus
Even afar off, at some considerable distance, he ran towards him, ( Mark 5:6 ) .

He cried out, and fell down before him;
that is, the man possessed with the devil did so, under his impulse, and through his agitation of him:

and with a loud voice said;
which was the unclean spirit in the man: what have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God, most high? I
beseech thee torment me not;
i.e. before the time; (See Gill on Matthew 8:29).

28 is ut vidit Iesum procidit ante illum et exclamans voce magna dixit quid mihi et tibi est Iesu Fili Dei altissimi obsecro te ne me torqueas
29 praecipiebat enim spiritui inmundo ut exiret ab homine multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum et vinciebatur catenis et conpedibus custoditus et ruptis vinculis agebatur a daemonio in deserta
30 interrogavit autem illum Iesus dicens quod tibi nomen est at ille dixit Legio quia intraverunt daemonia multa in eum
