Mark 5:9

New English Translation

⁹Jesus^[a] asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion,^[b] for we are many.”

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