Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 4] and drive out all diseases and speak such mysteries in parables. They were growing in their apprehension and comprehension of Jesus Christ. They had much yet to learn. There is much yet for us today to learn or seek to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. This incident opened the eyes and minds of the disciples to the majesty of Jesus.

Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 5]. [Table of Contents] [Previous] [Next] 5:1 {The Gerasenes} (\t•n Geras•n•n\). Like Lu 8:26 while Mt 8:28 has "the Gadarenes." The ruins of the village Khersa (Gerasa) probably point to this site which is in the district of Gadara some six miles southeastward, not to the city of Gerasa some thirty miles away. 5:2 {Out of the boat} (\ek tou ploiou\). Straightway (\euthus\) Mark says, using the genitive absolute (\exelthontos autou\) and then repeating \aut•i\ associative instrumental after \ap•nt•sen\. The demoniac greeted Jesus at once. Mark and Lu 9:27 mention only one man while Matthew notes two demoniacs, perhaps one more violent than the other. Each of the Gospels has a different phrase. Mark has "a man with an unclean spirit" (\en pneumati akathart•i\), Mt 8:28 "two possessed with demons" (\duo daimonizomenoi\), Lu 8:27 "one having demons" (\tis ech•n daimonia\). Mark has many touches about this miracle not retained in Matthew and Luke. See on ¯Mt 8:28. 5:3 {No man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain} (\oude halusei oudeis edunato auton d•sai\). Instrumental case \halusei\, a handcuff (\a\ privative and \lu•\, to loosen). But this demoniac snapped a handcuff as if a string. 5:4 {Often bound} (\pollakis dedesthai\). Perfect passive infinitive, state of completion. With fetters (\pedais\, from \peza\, foot, instep) and chains, bound hand and foot, but all to no purpose. The English plural of foot is feet (Anglo-Saxon _fot_, _fet_) and fetter is _feeter_. {Rent asunder} (\diesp•sthai\). Drawn (\spa•\) in two (\dia-\ same root as \duo\, two). Perfect passive infinitive. {Broken in pieces} (\suntetriphthai\.) Perfect passive infinitive again, from \suntrib•\, to rub together. Rubbed together, crushed together. Perhaps the neighbours who told the story could point to broken fragments of chains and fetters. The fetters may have been cords, or even wooden stocks and not chains. {No man had strength to tame him} (\oudeis ischuen auton damasai\). Imperfect tense. He roamed at will like a lion in the jungle. http://www.ccel.org/r/robertson_at/wordpictures/htm/MR5.RWP.html (1 of 9) [28/08/2004 09:03:42 a.m.] Word Pictures in the New Testament (Mark: Chapter 5)
