马可福音 5:11 CUVS

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 5:1-43

The Saviour and the Maniac Mark 5:18 Of all the encounters of Jesus with men, surely none is more striking than His meeting with the maniac whose home was among the tombs. Jesus had just left the boat, and stepped upon the shore, when from out one of the caves that served for a burying-place among the limestone hills there rushed towards Him a creature that seemed not so much like a human being as like an evil spirit incarnate. Perhaps the unhappy man had been watching the boat coming across... read more

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

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

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
