Personal fav

The story of the possessed guy is a personal fav of mine. It says that shackles can't hold him. In other words, people have tried locking him up. He has found refuge amongst the dead and he's gone crazy. Jesus meets him and asks him a friendly question. "what is your name?" it also says that the MAN replied that is name was legion because he was many. Perhaps he was skitzophrenic, but also names were literal words. Perhaps he was suggesting that many people had called him many different things. After a conversation with Jesus he is there clothed and in his right mind. Jesus instructed the disciples to travel light and not to carry spare clothes. Where did he get clothes from? It's possible one of the disciples shed his own dignity to restore this man's dignity. I also think the pigs thing is funny, because it's like a "stick it to the romans" kind of act. Jews didn't eat pork. It was probably pork to feed the roman legions.
