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 besought Him not to command them to be gone into the Bottomless Pit.

32 Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.

33 The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.

34 The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;

35 whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
