Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Then		"By this was fully evinced the sovereign power of our LORD, and the reality of diabolical agency; ""for,"" says Dr. Doddridge, ""it was self-evident that a herd of swine could not be confederates in any fraud; their death, therefore, in this instructive circumstance, was ten thousand times a greater blessing to mankind than if they had been slain for food, as was intended."""
the herd		Jhn 8:44; 1Pe 5:8; Rev 9:11

Correlating Passages

the herd

	Jhn 8:44	Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
	1Pe 5:8	Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
	Rev 9:11	And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.
