Mark 5:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 5:4

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.”

8 For He said to him, ^a“Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”
