Mark 5:1 Cross References - WPNT

¹ Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.

²⁸ Upon His coming to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, two demonized men met Him, coming out from the tombs, very dangerous, so that no one could pass that way. ²⁹ And then—they cried out saying: “What do you have to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” ³⁰ Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding. ³¹ So the demons kept imploring Him saying, “Since you are going to cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of pigs”. ³² So He said to them, “Go!” And coming out they went off into the herd of pigs. And then—the whole herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water! ³³ So the swineherds ran away, and going into the town they told everything, including about the demonized men. ³⁴ And then, the whole town went out to meet with Jesus; and upon seeing Him they begged Him to depart from their borders.

³⁵ On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side”.

²⁶ Then they sailed to the district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. ²⁷ Well when He stepped out on the land, a certain man of that town met Him, who had had a demon for a long time—he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but among the tombs. ²⁸ When he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!” ²⁹ Because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places). ³⁰ Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him). ³¹ And he kept imploring Him that He would not order them to go away into the Abyss. ³² Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so He gave them permission. ³³ Then the demons exited the man and entered the pigs—and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned! ³⁴ Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside. ³⁵ So they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. ³⁶ Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed. ³⁷ Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned. ³⁸ Now the man from whom the demons had gone out had started begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ “Return to your house and recount how much God has done for you”. So he went his way and proclaimed all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
