Expositor's Bible Commentary - Mark 5:1-20

Chapter 5CHAPTER 5:1-20 (Mark 5:1-20)THE DEMONIAC OF GADARA"And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain; because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had... read more

Chapter 5 1. The Servant’s Power over Satan’s work. (Mark 5:1-20 . Matthew 8:28-34 ; Luke 8:26-39 .) 2. The Servant’s Power over disease and death.

His condition is described in fullest detail. He... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 5:1-43

PARABLES AND MIRACLES This lesson contains the parables of the sower, the candle, the seed growing secretly and the mustard seed (Mark 4:1-34 ); and the miracles of the stilling of the storm, the healing of the Gadarene and the woman with the issue of blood, and the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 ).

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 5:1-43

The Human and the Divine [An Analysis] Mark 5:0 This story may be viewed in four aspects: I. The human; II. The Divine; III. The Diabolic; IV. The Social. I. The Human. The human aspect is seen both in shadow and in light: (1) As seen in shadow: ( a ) man impure, unclean spirit; ( b ) man dissocialised, his dwelling was among the tombs; ( c ) man unrestrained, no man could tame him, no, not with chains; ( d ) man self-tormented, crying and cutting himself with stones. (2) As seen in light:... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 5:6-8

(6) But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, (7) And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. (8) For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. Before we prosecute this poor creature's history, I must beg the Reader to stop, and remark with me, the sovereignty of CHRIST owned by the devils themselves. Reader! it is worthy your closest observation, in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:1-20

1-20 Some openly wilful sinners are like this madman. The commands of the law are as chains and fetters, to restrain sinners from their wicked courses; but they break those bands in sunder; and it is an evidence of the power of the devil in them. A legion of soldiers consisted of six thousand men, or more. What multitudes of fallen spirits there must be, and all enemies to God and man, when here was a legion in one poor wretched creature! Many there are that rise up against us. We are not a... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 5:1-99

Mark 5 THE CONVICTION, as to “what manner of Man” the Lord Jesus is, once having been reached by faith, it carries with it the assurance that He must be equal to meeting every emergency. Yet, even so, it is well for the disciple to actually see Him dealing with men, and with the troubles that have come upon them by reason of sin, in His delivering mercy. In this chapter we see the Lord displaying His power, and thereby educating His disciples still further. That education may be ours also as... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 5:6-10

Acknowledging Jesus as the superior: v. 6.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 5:1-20

5. Conflict of Jesus with the despairing Unbelief of the Demoniac, and the selfish Unbelief of the Gada renes; Healing of the Demoniac, and Triumph over Human Devices for Security. (Mark 5:1-20)(Parallels: Matthew 8:28-34; Luke 8:26-39)1And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gada renes. 2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the 3tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 5:1-17

Mark THE LORD OF DEMONS Mar_5:1 - Mar_5:20 . The awful picture of this demoniac is either painted from life, or it is one of the most wonderful feats of the poetic imagination. Nothing more terrible, vivid, penetrating, and real was ever conceived by the greatest creative genius. If it is not simply a portrait, ³chylus or Dante might own the artist for a brother. We see the quiet landing on the eastern shore, and almost hear the yells that broke the silence as the fierce, demon-ridden man... read more
