Luke 8:29-31

Living Bible

²⁹ For Jesus was already commanding the demon to leave him. This demon had often taken control of the man so that even when shackled with chains he simply broke them and rushed out into the desert, completely under the demon’s power. ³⁰ “What is your name?” Jesus asked the demon. “Legion,” they replied—for the man was filled with thousands of them!^{[a] 31} They kept begging Jesus not to order them into the Bottomless Pit.
