📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the Gospel of Luke's account of Jesus' encounter with a man possessed by demons in the region of the Gerasenes, which was a Gentile area near the Sea of Galilee. In the first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman world, demonic possession was often seen as a source of extreme mental and physical torment, reflecting broader beliefs in spiritual warfare. The term "Legion" used by the man symbolizes a large Roman military unit, emphasizing the overwhelming number of demons and possibly alluding to the oppressive Roman occupation.
