[soc.religion.christian] Matt 8:28 and Luke 8:27

Hi folks
I am a new reader to this newsgroup.  I was wondering if someone could
point me in the right direction.  I have been reading the gospel of
Matthew, Luke and Mark.  In Matt 8:28 Jesus was described as having cast
away the demons in two men to a herd of pigs.  Is this incident the same
as the demons called collectively as Legion in the book of Mark (chapter
5) and Luke chapter 8 (8:27)?  It seems like it would be, but in these
two gospels, there was only one man? mentioned.  I am somewhat unsure...

Any insightful help will be very much appreciated,

Thanks,

Keng.
