Luca 8:29

Listen to Luca 8:29
29 Poiché Gesù comandava allo spirito immondo d’uscir da quell’uomo; molte volte infatti esso se n’era impadronito; e benché lo si fosse legato con catene e custodito in ceppi, avea spezzato i legami, ed era portato via dal demonio ne’ deserti.

Luca 8:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:29

For he had commanded the unclean spirit.
&c.] That had the rest of the devils under his authority, and power,

to come out of the man;
this he had done, either before, or just as he came up to him; (See Gill on Mark 5:8).

For oftentimes it had caught him;
possessed him, and wrought so strongly in him, and with so much fury, that there was no governing him: and he was kept bound with chains and fetters;
attempts were made to bind him, and keep him bound, but in vain: and he brake the bands; (See Gill on Mark 5:4). And was driven of the devil into the wilderness:
into some desert and desolate place, where were the tombs and sepulchres of the dead; this was done by the prince of the legion.

Luca 8:29 In-Context

27 E quando egli fu smontato a terra, gli si fece incontro un uomo della città, il quale era posseduto da demoni, e da lungo tempo non indossava vestito, e non abitava casa ma stava ne’ sepolcri.
28 Or quando ebbe veduto Gesù, dato un gran grido, gli si prostrò dinanzi, e disse con gran voce: Che v’è fra me e te, o Gesù, Figliuolo dell’Iddio altissimo? Ti prego, non mi tormentare.
29 Poiché Gesù comandava allo spirito immondo d’uscir da quell’uomo; molte volte infatti esso se n’era impadronito; e benché lo si fosse legato con catene e custodito in ceppi, avea spezzato i legami, ed era portato via dal demonio ne’ deserti.
30 E Gesù gli domandò: Qual è il tuo nome? Ed egli rispose: Legione; perché molti demoni erano entrati in lui.
31 Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro d’andar nell’abisso.
