Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 8:27

"And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs." — Luke 8:27 (ASV)

And wore no clothes.—The English is stronger than the Greek warrants. Better, wore no cloak, or outer garment. (Compare to Note on Matthew 5:40.) Singularly enough, St. Luke is the only Evangelist who mentions this fact. It is as though he had taken pains to inquire whether this case of frenzied insanity had presented the phenomenon with which his experience as a physician had made him familiar in others.
