Great Things From Gadara Mark 5:1-20

The Gadarene Demoniac The account of the Gadarene demoniac is found in Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; and Luke 8:26-39 Three questions arise concerning this story: Why are two different place names mentioned? Why are there two demoniacs mentioned in Matthew, but only one in Mark and Luke? Why no apparent concern for the swine, or the livelihood of the herders?

The Gadarene Demoniac Why are two different places mentioned, Gadara (Gadarenes) and Gerasa (Gerasenes)? Answer: “Gadara” (Heb. G-D-R), modern-day Um Qeia, is the preferred reading because this town was located about 5 miles SE of the Sea of Galilee. “Gerasa” (Heb. G-R-S) was located about 35 miles from the coastline and was a leading city of Decapolis.

The Gadarene Demoniac Why are two demoniacs mentioned in Matthew, but only one in Mark and Luke? Answer: Two demoniacs met Jesus,** but only one was singled out for detailed discussion by Mark and Luke. The demoniac named “Legion” was more outspoken. This is the same situation as the two blind men that met Jesus and one is named Bartimaeus (Mt. 20:29-34; Mk. 10:46-52; Lk. 18:35- 43). ** Two witnesses are found in Matthew who is fond of upholding the Old Law of witnesses (Mt. 18:16; Deut. 19:15).

The Gadarene Demoniac Why no apparent concern for the swine, or the livelihood of the herders? Answer: First, the purpose of animals in the 1st century was for food, work, or sacrifice. A romantic notion of animals was not the emphasis at this time like it is today. Second, swine were unclean animals and less important compared to the soul of the man (Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8). The story focuses on the unclean spirit, the unclean man, and the unclean swine.

Great Things From Gadara A Great Tragedy The devil had possessed this man and ruined his life: fiercely out of control, self-afflicted, naked, loner (Mt. 8:28-29; Mk. 5:1-5; Lk. 8:26-29) The great tragedy of this life is to let the devil possess us, enslave us, and ruin us (Jn. 6:70; 13:2,27; Acts 5:3; Rom. 6:23; 7:21-23; Eph. 2:1; 4:27; 1 Tim. 5:6,14-15; 1 Pet. 5:8)

Great Things From Gadara A Great Release The man possessed of the devil was released of his tragedy and torment by Jesus (Mt. 8:30-32; Mk. 5:6-13; Lk. 8:30-33) The great release of Jesus is still present for anyone who will obey him (Mt. 11:28-30; Lk. 4:18-19; Jn. 8:32-34,44; Rom. 1:16; 8:2; 2 Tim. 1:8)

Great Things From Gadara A Great Fear The people of the area greatly feared Jesus and they rejected him and begged him to leave them (Mt. 8:33-34; Mk. 5:14-17; Lk. 8:34-37) The great fear of Jesus is still present today among those who reject Jesus (Mt. 10:34-39; Lk. 12:49-53; Jn. 1:11; Acts 16:16-19; Rev. 3:20; 21:8)

Great Things From Gadara A Great Work The healed man was told by Jesus to go tell his family and friends about the “great things” the Lord had done (Mk. 5:18-20; Lk. 8:38-39). The great work of personal evangelism is still commanded of us today (Mt. 7:5; 28:19-20; Acts 8:4; 2 Cor. 4:13; 5:11; 2 Tim. 2:20-21; Jude 22-23)
