Luke 8:33

33 And so the devils went out from the man, and entered into the swine; and with a rush the flock went headlong into the pool, and was drowned [and with rush the flock went headlong into the lake of water, and was strangled].

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 prayed him, that he should not command them, that they should go into hell [that they should go into the deepness].

32 And there was a flock of many swine pasturing in an hill, and they prayed him, that he should suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

33 And so the devils went out from the man, and entered into the swine; and with a rush the flock went headlong into the pool, and was drowned [and with rush the flock went headlong into the lake of water, and was strangled].

34 And when the herders saw this thing done [The which thing, as they that pastured, or kept in pastures, saw done], they fled, and told into the city, and into the towns.

35 And they went out to see that thing that was done. And they came to Jesus, and they found the man sitting clothed, from whom the devils went out, and in whole mind at his feet; and they dreaded.
