Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:15
And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.This contrasts with the picture Mark gave of the man before the demons were cast out. What a tragic picture he presented: naked, bleeding, furtive, dwelling in tombs, constantly crying out, etc. Behold the change. He is clothed and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus! This shows what Christianity does. "It clothes the naked,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:16
And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.Ah ...! There was the little detail about those missing swine. If that community had only had the grace to have raised a fund to reimburse the owners and to rehabilitate the healed man, there might have been a happier ending to this story; but they were so blinded by the secular loss that, instead, they asked the Son of God to leave the community! read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:17
And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.This was a rash prayer, but Jesus answered it by departing and never setting foot in the area again; however, he did not leave himself utterly without witness, as the next verses disclose. read more

15. And they come to Jesus—Matthew (Matthew 8:34) says, "Behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus." and see him that was possessed with the devil—the demonized person. and had the legion, sitting—"at the feet of Jesus," adds Luke (Matthew 8:34- :); in contrast with his former wild and wandering habits. and clothed—As our Evangelist had not told us that he "ware no clothes," the meaning of this statement could only have been conjectured but for "the beloved physician" (Matthew 8:34- :), who... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 5:17
17. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts—Was it the owners only of the valuable property now lost to them that did this? Alas, no! For Luke (Luke 8:37) says, "Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought Him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear." The evil spirits had thus, alas! their object. Irritated, the people could not suffer His presence; yet awe-struck, they dared not order Him off: so they entreat Him to withdraw,... read more
