Mark 5:9-13 And so He was asking him i.e., the man: the pronoun is masculine, "What is your name?" And he then says to Him, "My name is Legion, because we are (we exist being) many."

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And so He was asking him [i.e., the man: the pronoun is masculine], "What [is] your name?" And he then says to Him, "My name is Legion, because we are (we exist being) many." ¹⁰ And he kept on entreating Him, asking Him to be a paraclete (calling Him to his side for aid, assistance and comfort), many [times], so that He would (or: should) not at once send it [other MSS: them] away, outside of the country (region; territory). ¹¹ Now a great (large; numerous) herd of young swine (pigs; hogs) continued being there, [moving] toward the hillside (or: facing toward the mountain; or: on the hill country), habitually feeding (being grazed). ¹² So they [other MSS: all the demons] entreated Him, repeatedly saying, "Send us into the young swine (pigs; hogs), so that we can (may) enter into them." ¹³ And Jesus immediately gave permission to them. So coming out, the unclean spirits (ceremonially impure breath-effects; culturally unpruned attitudes) entered into the young swine, and the herd immediately stampeded (rushed headlong) down the steep slope (bank; cliff; precipice) into the sea (or: lake) – about two thousand [of them] – and they began being choked (or: were being choked, one after another), within the sea (lake).
