Contextual Overview

22 One day Jesushe">[fn] and his disciples got into a boat. He said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake." So they started out.Matthew 8:23; Mark 4:35;">[xr] 23 Now as they were sailing, Jesushe">[fn] fell asleep. A violent storm swept over the lake, and they were taking on water and were in great danger. 24 So they went to him, woke him up, and said, "Master! Master! We're going to die!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. They stopped, and there was calm. 25 Then he asked the disciples,them">[fn] "Where is your faith?" Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, "Who is this man? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!" 26 They landed in the region of the Gerasenes,Gadarenes; still other mss. read Gergesenes">[fn] which is just across the lake from Galilee.Matthew 8:28; Mark 5:1;">[xr] 27 When Jesushe">[fn] stepped out on the shore, a certain man from the city met him. This man was controlled byHe had">[fn] demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and said in a loud voice, "What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!" 29 For Jesushe">[fn] was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spiritit">[fn] had seized the man,him">[fn] and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places. 30 Jesus asked him, "What's your name?" He answered, "Legion,"[fn] because many demons had gone into him. 31 Then the demonsthey">[fn] began begging Jesushim">[fn] not to order them to go into the bottomless pit.Revelation 20:3;">[xr]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then they went out to see what was done,.... That is, the inhabitants of the city, or cities and villages, and houses in the fields; these went out from their respective places of abode, to see with their own eyes, what the swine herds had related to them, concerning the man that had been possessed with devils, and what was become of the swine:

and came to Jesus; where he was, which was not far from the sea shore:

and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus; quiet and serene, in an humble posture, and as a disciple of Christ, receiving instructions from him:

clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid;
