And forthwith Jesus gave them leave--In Matthew (Mat 8:32) this is given with majestic brevity--"Go!" The owners, if Jews, drove an illegal trade; if heathens, they insulted the national religion: in either case the permission was just.
And the unclean spirits went out--of the man.
and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently--rushed.
down a steep place--down the hanging cliff.
into the sea (they were about two thousand)--The number of them is given by this graphic Evangelist alone.
and were choked in the sea--"perished in the waters" (Mat 8:32). |

Ran (ὥρμησεν)
The verb indicates hasty, headlong motion. Hence, as Rev., rushed.
Two Thousand.
As usual, Mark alone gives the detail of number.
A steep place
But the noun has the definite article: τοῦ κρημνοῦ, the steep, as Rev. |
