Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 8:29-33

29For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.
32There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
