A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 8:34

"And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country." — Luke 8:34 (ASV)

Saw what had come to pass (ιδοντες το γεγονος). This item only in Luke. Note the neat Greek idiom το γεγονος, articular second perfect active participle of γινομα. Repeated in verse 35 and in Mr 5:14. Note numerous participles here in verse 35 as in Mr 5:15.
