New Testament 91

New Testament 91

 

Gadara or Gerasa?
Gadara is to the southeast of the Sea of Galilee, and Gerasa (probably Jerash, in modern Jordan) is even further to the southeast.  (Philadelphia is known, today, as Amman.)

 

Matthew 8:28-34

Mark 5:1-20

Luke 8:26-39

 

“Gadarenes” or “Gerasenes”?  Hard to know.

 

This is a remarkable story.  And the notion that evil spirits desire to be incarnated so badly that they would rather be cast into pigs than be at large is interesting, as well.
