Luke 8:29-33 You see, He began passing on an announcement and continued giving instruction to the unclean breath-effect (spirit; attitude; state of mind) to at once come out of the man. For many times it had seized and violently gripped him together (= took control of him), and he was from time to time being bound with and confined by chains and shackles (ankle fetters), being repeatedly guarded (or: kept in protective custody). And yet, repeatedly breaking the bonds in two, he kept on being driven (or: urged forward; impelled) away, from other MSS: by; under the demon (Hellenistic concept and term: = animistic influence; = an influence that was not part of him), into the uninhabited places (wilderness areas; desert regions; lonely places).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁹ You see, He began passing on an announcement and continued giving instruction to the unclean breath-effect (spirit; attitude; state of mind) to at once come out of the man. For many times it had seized and violently gripped him together (= took control of him), and he was from time to time being bound with and confined by chains and shackles (ankle fetters), being repeatedly guarded (or: kept in protective custody). And yet, repeatedly breaking the bonds in two, he kept on being driven (or: urged forward; impelled) away, from [other MSS: by; under] the demon (Hellenistic concept and term: = animistic influence; = an influence that was not part of him), into the uninhabited places (wilderness areas; desert regions; lonely places). ³⁰ So Jesus asked him, "What is [the] name for you?" Now the man said, "Legion (or: An Army)," because many demons (= influences) at some point entered into him. ³¹ Then they began calling Him alongside for aid and assistance, entreating Him to the end that He would (might) not add directives and apply arrangements for (or: give orders to) them to go off into the Deep (the Abyss). ³² Now there was a considerable herd of pigs (hogs) being grazed (pastured) there, within the hill country (or: on the mountain), and so they entreated Him for assistance, to the end that He would proceed to allow (or: progressively permit) them to enter into those [pigs]. Then He gave permission to them. ³³ So the demons (= influences), after going out from the man, entered into the pigs. Next, the herd stampeded (rushed headlong) down the precipice (cliff; steep bank) into the lake – and it was choked, so as to drown.
