This was no ordinary demon possessed man, because “Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’, ‘My name is Legion,’ he replied, ‘for we are many.’ And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area” (Mark 5:9-10). Why would this legion of demons beg Jesus to not “send them out of the area?” It’s because demons passionately desire to possess a living being. They are not at rest until they can find a place to call home, and apparently this man has thousands of demons in him.
Who Was Legion In The Bible?
The problem is legion. People who have been taken over by 'other' things.
