Luke 8:30 in Context — Luke 8

28 Ele viu Jesus, então exclamou, prostrou-se diante dele, e disse com grande voz: “O que eu tenho contigo, Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Rogo-te que não me atormentes.”

29 Porque ele havia mandado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois muitas vezes apoderava-se dele. E o mantinham preso com cadeias e grilhões; porém ele quebrava o que lhe prendia, e era conduzido pelo demônio aos desertos.

30 E Jesus lhe perguntou: “Qual é teu nome?” E ele disse: “Legião” (porque muitos demônios tinham entrado nele).

31 E rogavam-lhe que não os mandasse ir para o abismo.
