The Demons and the Pigs

³²There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.³³Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Summary

In Luke 8:33, we see the aftermath of Jesus casting out demons from a man into a herd of pigs. The pigs then rush down a steep bank into a lake and drown. This event demonstrates Jesus' authority over evil spirits and His power to bring deliverance and freedom to those who are oppressed. It also reveals the destructive nature of the demonic forces that seek to steal, kill, and destroy. Ultimately, this passage highlights the contrast between the darkness of the enemy's work and the light and life that Jesus brings to those who believe in Him.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine - Some critics and commentators would have us to understand all this of the man himself, who, they say, was a most outrageous maniac; and that, being permitted by our Lord, he ran after the swine, and drove them all down a precipice into the sea! This is solemn trifling indeed; or, at least, trifling with solemn things. It is impossible to read over the account, as given here by Luke, and admit this mode of explanation. The devils went out of the man, and entered into the swine; i.e. the madman ran after the swine! On this plan of interpretation there is nothing certain in the word of God; and every man may give it what meaning he pleases. Such comments are intolerable.
