Mark Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

Legion: Likely, this was not the demon-possessed man’s actual name, but it indicates that the man was possessed by many demons. Possibly, the chief one of these demons caused this man to say that his name was Legion. In the first century C.E., a Roman legion usually consisted of some 6,000 men, which may indicate that a large number of demons were involved.—See study note on Mt 26:53.
