A Demon-Possessed Man Healed

1 Then athey came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the1 Gadarenes.  
2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an aunclean spirit,  
3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind1 him, not even with chains,  
4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.
7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I aimplore You by God that You do not torment me.”

Mark 5:1

Mark 5:1 Healing the Afflicted SUMMARY OF MARK 5: In the Country of the Gadarenes. The Fierce Demoniac. The Demons and the Swine. The Gadarenes Do Not Wish Jesus. The Preacher in Decapolis. Jesus Again in Capernaum. The Daughter of Jairus. The Woman with the Issue of Blood. Healed by Faith. The Dead Damsel Made Alive. They came over unto the other side. After the storm. Into the country of the Gadarenes. Matthew in the parallel account says "Gergesenes" (Matthew 8:28). The explanation is easy. Gerasa, a town whose modern name is Gersa, stood on the southeast shore of the sea, while Gadara, the chief city of the district, was south about seven or eight miles. As the capital of the district, "the country of the Gadarenes" embraced Gerasa and its vicinity.
