My name is Legion, with Doug Penney: Mark 5:9 and Psalm 91:7

<p><a title= "https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/douglas-penney/" href= "https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/douglas-penney/">Dr. Doug Penney</a>, Associate Professor of Classical Languages at Wheaton College, calls attention to Mark 5:9 (Luke 8:30) in which a group of demons declare their name to be <span lang="EL" xml:lang="EL">Λεγιών</span>, translated as Legion. The naming of various demons and angels in ancient Jewish traditions is a fascinating topic in its own right. Intertestamental angelology often derived such names from creative readings of Hebrew scripture passages. Dr. Penney traces out the linguistic path from Ps. 91:7, through these complex traditions, to Mark 5.</p>
