SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:32
Y había allí un hato de muchos puercos que pacían en el monte; y le rogaron que los dejase entrar en ellos; y los dej.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. And there was there an herd of many swine , etc.] About two thousand, ( Mark 5:13), Feeding on the mountain; (See Gill on Mark 5:11) And they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them; which they could not do, without his leave: and he suffered them: (See Gill on Mark 5:12-13) Ver. 33. Then went the devils out of the man , etc.] Being obliged by the power of Christ, sore against their wills, having had possession of him a long time: and entered into the swine ; possessed them: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake ; that is of Gennesaret; or the sea, as the Syriac and Persic versions read; that is, the sea of Galilee, the same with the former: and were choked ; in the waters, and died, as the Ethiopic version adds.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-40 - Those that put to sea in a calm, even at Christ's word, must ye prepare for a storm, and for great peril in that storm. There is n relief for souls under a sense of guilt, and fear of wrath, but to go to Christ, and call him Master, and say, I am undone, if thou dost no help me. When our dangers are over, it becomes us to take to ourselve the shame of our own fears, and to give Christ the glory of ou deliverance. We may learn much out of this history concerning the worl of infernal, malignant spirits, which though not working now exactly in the same way as then, yet all must at all times carefully guar against. And these malignant spirits are very numerous. They have enmity to man and all his comforts. Those under Christ's government ar sweetly led with the bands of love; those under the devil's governmen are furiously driven. Oh what a comfort it is to the believer, that all the powers of darkness are under the control of the Lord Jesus! It is miracle of mercy, if those whom Satan possesses, are not brought to destruction and eternal ruin. Christ will not stay with those wh slight him; perhaps he may no more return to them, while others ar waiting for him, and glad to receive him.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:32 {A herd of many swine} (agele coirwn hikanwn). Word {herd} (agele) old as Homer, but in N.T. only here and parallels (#Mr 5:11; Mt 8:30). Luke shows his fondness for adjective hikanos here again (see verse #27) where Mark has megale and Matthew pollwn.
