TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

σοι

˱to˲_you

Since Luke indicates in the previous verse that Jesus is speaking to the unclean spirit here, your is singular, even though the demon responds that he is speaking for “many,” and even though in the following verses Luke says they and them for the multiple demons.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

λεγεών

Legion

Translate the word Legion with a word in your language that refers to a large number of soldiers. Show that this was the name of the demon by using the convention in your language for proper names. Alternate translation: [Army] or [Battalion] or [Brigade]
