I have a random question, hoping someone here is familiar with this or can point me in a good direction for further info, or both.
I was wondering about the term Legion used in Mark 5:9, Luke 8:30, and Matthew 8:23-24.
What is the original term used (or various terms used) in Aramaic or Greek? What would the literal translation be and are there any connotations missing between the original context and the common English translation?
Also are there any mentions of the event of that event in the Apocrypha anywhere?
Thanks! I just need to learn Hebrew and Greek one of these days finally!
