“And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.”
Matthew 8:30 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 8:30
The presence of 'a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding' confirms this is Gentile territory, as Jews considered swine unclean and wouldn't raise them. The detail sets up the demons' request to enter the pigs, demonstrating both Christ's absolute authority over demons and the destructive nature of demonic power. That demons prefer embodiment in unclean animals to disembodiment shows the horror of their existence under God's judgment.
