“And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.”
Jesus asked him, what is your name? Legion, he replied, because many demons had gone into him — the name Legion communicates the scale of the possession (a Roman legion comprised approximately six thousand soldiers). Many demons had gone into him: Luke's clarification that Legion is a collective, not a personal name.
