Luke 8:29 in Context — Luke 8
27 Lorsque Jésus fut descendu à terre, il vint au-devant de lui un homme de la ville, qui était possédé de plusieurs démons. Depuis longtemps il ne portait point de vêtement, et avait sa demeure non dans une maison, mais dans les sépulcres.
28 Ayant vu Jésus, il poussa un cri, se jeta à ses pieds, et dit d’une voix forte: Qu’y a-t-il entre moi et toi, Jésus, Fils du Dieu Très-Haut? Je t’en supplie, ne me tourmente pas.
29 Car Jésus commandait à l’esprit impur de sortir de cet homme, dont il s’était emparé depuis longtemps; on le gardait lié de chaînes et les fers aux pieds, mais il rompait les liens, et il était entraîné par le démon dans les déserts.
30 Jésus lui demanda: Quel est ton nom? Légion, répondit-il. Car plusieurs démons étaient entrés en lui.
31 Et ils priaient instamment Jésus de ne pas leur ordonner d’aller dans l’abîme.
