Markus 5:9

5:9 Jesus ¹  asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, ²  for we are many.”

Markus 10:10

10:10 In the house once again, the disciples asked him about this.

[5:9]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ² sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.
