5:1 Christ delivering the possessed of the legion of devils,
Mar_5:13. they enter into the swine;

Verse 2 out Isaiah 65:4; Luke 8:27 a manMatthew gives a brief account of two demoniacs who were dispossessed on this occasion; but Mark and Luke omit the mention of one (who was perhaps not so remarkable). That these wretched men were not merely mad, as some suppose, but really possessed of evil spirits, appears clearly from the language employed, as well as from the narrative itself. Matthew expressly affirms that they were "possessed with devils," or demoniacs, δαιμονιζομενοι [G1139]; Mark says he had "an unclean spirit," i.e., a fallen spirit; and Luke asserts, that he "had devils (or demons) a long time," and was called Legion, "because many devils were entered into him." With supernatural strength the demons burst asunder the chains and fetters with which he was bound; they address Christ as the "Son of the most high God;" they beseech him to suffer them to enter into the swine; and when he had given them leave, they "went out and entered into the swine," etc.with Mark 5:8, 1:23, 1:26, 3:30, 7:25; Luke 9:42 Reciprocal Matthew 4:24 - possessed; 8:28 - coming Verse 3 Mark 9:18-22; Isaiah 65:4; Daniel 4:32, 4:33; Luke 8:29 Reciprocal Daniel 4:25 - drive; Mark 9:20 - the spirit; Acts 19:16 - General; Revelation 18:2 - become Verse 4 tame James 3:7, 3:8 Reciprocal Daniel 4:16 - be changed; 4:25 - drive; Matthew 17:15 - for ofttimes; Mark 5:15 - him that; Luke 9:39 - lo; Acts 19:16 - General Verse 5 crying 1 Kings 18:28; Job 2:7, 2:8; John 8:44 Reciprocal Leviticus 19:28 - cuttings; Jeremiah 47:5 - how; 48:37 - cuttings; Daniel 4:16 - be changed; Matthew 17:15 - for ofttimes; Mark 3:11 - unclean; Luke 9:39 - lo Verse 6 he ran Psalm 66:3 *marg. 72:9; Luke 4:41; Acts 16:17; James 2:19 Reciprocal Matthew 8:2 - worshipped; Mark 3:11 - unclean; Luke 8:28 - he cried Verse 7 What Mark 1:24; Hosea 14:8; Matthew 8:29; Luke 4:34 Son Mark 3:11, 14:61; Matthew 16:16; John 20:31; Acts 8:37, 16:17 I adjure 1 Kings 22:16; Matthew 26:63; Acts 19:13 that Genesis 3:15; Matthew 8:29; Luke 8:28; Romans 16:20; Habakkuk 2:14; 2 Peter 2:4; 1 John 3:8; Jude 1:6; Revelation 12:12, 20:1-3 Reciprocal Exodus 14:12 - Let us alone; 1 Kings 17:18 - art thou come; 2 Chronicles 18:15 - shall I adjure; Micah 6:6 - the high; Matthew 8:31 - General; 12:43 - seeking; Mark 5:17 - General; 5:18 - prayed; 9:25 - he rebuked; Luke 1:32 - the Son; 1 Thessalonians 5:27 - I charge; Habakkuk 3:1 - the most; James 2:19 - the; Revelation 20:2 - he laid Verse 8 Mark 1:25, 9:25, 9:26; Acts 16:18 Reciprocal Matthew 8:16 - and he; 17:18 - rebuked; Mark 5:2 - with; Luke 8:29 - commanded Verse 9 What Luke 8:30, 11:21-26 Legion Matthew 12:45, 26:53 Reciprocal Acts 19:15 - General Verse 10 Mark 5:13, 3:22 Reciprocal Luke 11:24 - I will Verse 11 herd Leviticus 11:7, 11:8; Deuteronomy 14:8; Isaiah 65:4, 66:3; Matthew 8:30; Luke 8:32

The advice of a heathen, on another subject, is quite applicable: Nec Deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus inciderit "When the miraculous power of God is necessary, let it be resorted to; when not necessary, let the ordinary means be used."
