Mark 5:9

He [Jesus] asked him, "What is your name?"
The man replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many." [Legion means thousands and is a Latin loanword for a large army. A Roman legion consisted of about 6,000 men. The term suggests both that the man had a large number of demons and that their nature was violent and warlike.]
