Mark 5:1-20
Then They (Jesus Christ and His Disciples) came to the
other side of The Sea, to The Country of The Gadarenes. And when He (Jesus Christ) had come out of
the boat, immediately there MET Him (Jesus Christ), out of The Tombs, a Man
(The Demon-Possessed Man) with an Unclean Spirit, who had his (The Demon-Possessed Man’s) dwelling
among The Tombs; and NO ONE could BIND him (The Demon-Possessed Man), NOT even
with chains, because he (The Demon-Possessed Man) had often been BOUND with
shackles and chains. And the chains had
been PULLED APART by him (The Demon-Possessed Man), and the shackles broken in
pieces; neither could ANYONE TAME him (The Demon-Possessed Man). And always, night and day, he (The Demon-Possessed
Man) was in The Mountains and in The Tombs, CRYING OUT and CUTTING himself (The
Demon-Possessed Man) with stones.
When he (The Demon-Possessed Man) SAW Jesus (Jesus
Christ) from afar, he (The Demon-Possessed Man) ran and worshiped Him (Jesus
Christ). And he (The Demon-Possessed
Man) CRIED OUT with a Loud Voice and said, “What have I to do with YOU, Jesus
(Jesus Christ), Son of The Most High GOD (GOD Almighty)? I IMPLORE YOU (Jesus Christ), BY GOD (GOD
Almighty), that YOU (Jesus Christ) do NOT Torment Me (The Demon-Possessed Man).”
For He (Jesus Christ) SAID to him (The Demon-Possessed
Man), “COME OUT of
the man, Unclean Spirit!” Then He (Jesus Christ) ASKED
him (The Demon-Possessed Man), “What is
your name?” And he (The Demon-Possessed
Man) answered, saying, “My name is
Legion; for We (The “Legion” of Demons) are MANY.” Also he (The Demon-Possessed Man) BEGGED Him
(Jesus Christ) earnestly, that He (Jesus Christ) would NOT send Them (The “Legion”
of Demons) OUT of The Country (The Country of Gadarenes).
Now a large herd of swine was feeding there (in The
Country of Gadarenes), near The Mountains.
So, All The Demons (The “Legion” of Demons) BEGGED Him (Jesus Christ),
saying, “Send Us (The “Legion” of Demons) to the swine, that We (The “Legion”
of Demons) may ENTER them (the large herd of swine).” And at once, Jesus (Jesus Christ) GAVE Them (The
“Legion” of Demons) PERMISSION. Then The
Unclean Spirits (The “Legion” of Demons) WENT OUT and ENTERED the swine (there
were about Two Thousand); and the herd (The “Legion” of Demons) RAN VIOLENTLY
down the steep place into The Sea, and DROWNED in The Sea.
So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in The City and in The Country
(The Country of Gadarenes). And they
went out to see what it was that had happened.
Then they came to Jesus (Jesus Christ), and SAW The One (The
Demon-Possessed Man) who had been
Demon-Possessed and had The Legion (The “Legion” of Demons), sitting and
clothed and in his (The once Demon-Possessed Man) RIGHT MIND. And they were AFRAID. And those who SAW it, TOLD them, how it
happened to him (The once Demon-Possessed Man) who had been Demon-Possessed, and about the swine. Then they began to PLEAD with Him (Jesus
Christ) to DEPART from their region (The Country of Gadarenes).
And when He (Jesus Christ) got into the boat, he (The
once Demon-Possessed Man) who had been Demon-Possessed BEGGED Him (Jesus
Christ), that he (The once Demon-Possessed Man) might be with Him (Jesus
Christ). However, Jesus (Jesus Christ)
did NOT PERMIT him (The once Demon-Possessed Man), but said to him (The once
Demon-Possessed Man), “Go home to your friends, and tell them what Great Things The LORD
(Jesus Christ) has DONE for YOU (The once Demon-Possessed Man), and how He (Jesus
Christ) has had COMPASSION on YOU (The once Demon-Possessed Man).” And he (The once Demon-Possessed
Man) DEPARTED and began to PROCLAIM in Decapolis, all that Jesus (Jesus Christ)
had DONE for him (The Demon-Possessed Man); and All MARVELED.
Luke 8:26-39
Then They (Jesus Christ and His Disciples) sailed to
The Country of The Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And when He (Jesus Christ) stepped out on the
land, there MET Him (Jesus Christ), a Certain Man (The Demon-Possessed Man)
from The City, who had demons for a long time. And he (The Demon-Possessed Man)
wore NO clothes, NOR did he (The Demon-Possessed Man) live in a house, but in
The Tombs. When he (The Demon-Possessed
Man) SAW Jesus (Jesus Christ), he (The Demon-Possessed Man) CRIED OUT, fell
down before Him (Jesus Christ), and with a Loud Voice said, “What have I to do
with YOU, Jesus (Jesus Christ), Son of The Most High GOD (GOD Almighty)? I beg YOU (Jesus Christ), do NOT Torment me!” For He (Jesus Christ) had COMMANDED The
Unclean Spirit (The Demons) to COME OUT of the man. For it (The Demons) had often SEIZED him (The
Demon-Possessed Man), and he (The Demon-Possessed Man) was KEPT under guard, BOUND
with chains and shackles; and he (The Demon-Possessed Man) BROKE the bonds and
was DRIVEN by the demon (The Demons), into the wilderness.
Jesus (Jesus Christ) asked him (The Demon-Possessed
Man), SAYING, “What
is your name?” And he (The Demon-Possessed
Man) said, “Legion,” because Many Demons had entered him (The Demon-Possessed
Man). And They (The “Legion” of Demons)
BEGGED Him (Jesus Christ), that He (Jesus Christ) would NOT command Them (The
“Legion” of Demons) to GO OUT, into The Abyss. Now a herd of many swine was
feeding there on The Mountain. So, They (The
“Legion” of Demons) BEGGED Him (Jesus Christ), that He (Jesus Christ) would PERMIT
Them (The “Legion” of Demons) to ENTER them (the herd of swine). And He (Jesus Christ) PERMITTED Them (The
“Legion” of Demons). Then The Demons
(The “Legion” of Demons) went out of the man (The Demon-Possessed Man) and ENTERED
the swine, and the herd (the herd of swine) RAN VIOLENTLY down the steep place
into the lake and DROWNED.
When those who fed them SAW what had happened, they fled and told it, in The City and in The Country
(The Country of The Gadarenes). Then
they went out to SEE what had happened, and came to Jesus (Jesus Christ), and
found the man (The once Demon-Possessed Man) from whom The Demons (The “Legion”
of Demons) had DEPARTED, sitting at The Feet of Jesus (Jesus Christ), clothed
and in his (The once Demon-Possessed Man) RIGHT MIND. And they were AFRAID. They also who had SEEN it, told them by what means he (The
once Demon-Possessed Man) who had been Demon-Possessed was HEALED. Then The Whole Multitude of The Surrounding
Region of The Gadarenes asked Him (Jesus Christ) to DEPART from them, for they
were seized with Great Fear. And He (Jesus
Christ) got into the boat and returned.
Now the man (The once Demon-Possessed Man) from whom
The Demons (The “Legion” of Demons) had departed, BEGGED Him (Jesus Christ), that
he (The once Demon-Possessed Man) might be with Him (Jesus Christ). But Jesus (Jesus Christ) sent him (The once
Demon-Possessed Man) away, SAYING, “Return to your (The once Demon-Possessed Man’s) own
house, and TELL what Great Things GOD (GOD Almighty) has DONE for YOU (The once
Demon-Possessed Man).” And he (The once
Demon-Possessed Man) went his (The once Demon-Possessed Man’s) way and PROCLAIMED
throughout The Whole City, what Great Things Jesus (Jesus Christ) had DONE for
him (The once Demon-Possessed Man).
Fellow Believers, this is so true for each of Us
(Believers), for when We (Believers) were deeply controlled by Our (Believers)
Own sin, GOD Almighty REACHED OUT to Us (Believers), and Jesus Christ REACHED
OUT to Us (Believers). GOD Almighty PUT
UPON Our (Believers) Hearts, the burning desire to KNOW Jesus Christ. Then someone shared with Us (Believers), The
Gospel of Jesus Christ, and We (Believers) acknowledged GOD Almighty’s Amazing
Saving Grace AND We (Believers) accepted GOD Almighty’s Free Gift of Salvation,
thereby becoming One of The Children of GOD Almighty, yes, a Brother or Sister,
in Christ Jesus. We (Believers) in turn,
PROCLAIM The Gospel of Jesus Christ to The World, and We (Believers) give Our
(Believers) Testimony of everything Jesus Christ has done in Our (Believers)
Lives. We (Believers) PROCLAIM All which
Jesus Christ does FOR Us (Believers) AND which Jesus Christ does THROUGH Us (Believers). We (Believers) ARE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT upon
The World! We (Believers) ARE Children
of GOD Almighty, and We (Believers) have The Assurance of being in GOD
Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD
Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children (Believers) of GOD
Almighty, for Eternity, Forever!
