2 And G2532 when he G846 was come G1831 out of G1537 the ship, G4143 immediately G2112 there met G528 him G846 out of G1537 the tombs G3419 a man G444 with G1722 an unclean G169 spirit, G4151
And G2532 there was G2258 in G1722 their G846 synagogue G4864 a man G444 with G1722 an unclean G169 spirit; G4151 and G2532 he cried out, G349
And G2532 when the unclean G169 spirit G4151 had torn G4682 him, G846 and G2532 cried G2896 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 he came G1831 out of G1537 him. G846
And G2532 he began G756 again G3825 to teach G1321 by G3844 the sea side: G2281 and G2532 there was gathered G4863 unto G4314 him G846 a great G4183 multitude, G3793 so that G5620 he G846 entered G1684 into G1519 a ship, G4143 and sat G2521 in G1722 the sea; G2281 and G2532 the whole G3956 multitude G3793 was G2258 by G4314 the sea G2281 on G1909 the land. G1093
For G1063 a certain woman, G1135 whose G3739 G846 young daughter G2365 had G2192 an unclean G169 spirit, G4151 heard G191 of G4012 him, G846 and came G2064 and fell G4363 at G4314 his G846 feet: G4228
And G1161 when he G846 went forth G1831 to G1909 land, G1093 there met G5221 him G846 out of G1537 the city G4172 a certain G5100 man, G435 which G3739 had G2192 devils G1140 long G1537 G2425 time, G5550 and G2532 ware G1737 no G3756 clothes, G2440 neither G2532 G3756 abode G3306 in G1722 any house, G3614 but G235 in G1722 the tombs. G3418
And G1161 as he G846 was G4334 yet G2089 a coming, G4334 the devil G1140 threw G4486 him G846 down, G4486 and G2532 tare G4952 him. And G1161 Jesus G2424 rebuked G2008 the unclean G169 spirit, G4151 and G2532 healed G2390 the child, G3816 and G2532 delivered G591 him G846 again G591 to his G846 father. G3962

Commentary on Mark 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter, we have,
These three miracles we had the story of before (Mt. 8:28, etc. and Mt. 9:18, etc.) but more fully related here.
Mar 5:1-20
We have here an instance of Christ's dispossessing the strong man armed, and disposing of him as he pleased, to make it appear that he was stronger than he. This he did when he was come to the other side, whither he went through a storm; his business there was to rescue this poor creature out of the hands of Satan, and when he had done that, he returned. Thus he came from heaven to earth, and returned, in a storm, to redeem a remnant of mankind out of the hands of the devil, though but a little remnant, and did not think his pains ill bestowed.
In Matthew, they were said to be two possessed with devils; here it is said to be a man possessed with an unclean spirit. If there were two, there was one, and Mark doth not say that there was but one; so that this difference cannot give us any just offence; it is probable that one of them was much more remarkable than the other, and said what was said. Now observe here,
Mar 5:21-34
The Gadarenes having desired Christ to leave their country, he did not stay to trouble them long, but presently went by water, as he came, back to the other side (v. 21), and there much people gathered to him. Note, If there be some that reject Christ, yet there are others that receive him, and bid him welcome. A despised gospel will cross the water, and go where it will have better entertainment. Now among the many that applied themselves to him,
Mar 5:35-43
Diseases and deaths came into the world by the sin and disobedience of the first Adam; but by the grace of the second Adam both are conquered. Christ, having healed an incurable disease, here goes on to triumph over death, as in the beginning of the chapter he had triumphed over an outrageous devil.
