Marcos 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:3

Who had his dwelling among the tombs
Which is one of the characters of a madman among the Jews; who say it is F17

``the sign of a madman, that he goeth out in the night, (twrbqh) (tybb Nlhw) , "and lodges among the tombs", and rends his garments, and loses what is given to him.''

The same they say, in the same place, of an hypochondriac, and melancholy man; and of Kordiacus, which they give out F18 is a demon that possesses, and has power over some sort of persons:

and no man could bind him, no, not with chains;
so as to hold him for any length of time: not only cords were insufficient to hold, but even chains of iron; so strong was he through the possession; for this could not be by his own natural strength.

Marcos 5:3 In-Context

1 Y llegaron al otro lado del mar, a la tierra de los gadarenos.
2 Y cuando El salió de la barca, enseguida vino a su encuentro, de entre los sepulcros, un hombre con un espíritu inmundo
3 que tenía su morada entre los sepulcros; y nadie podía ya atarlo ni aun con cadenas;
4 porque muchas veces había sido atado con grillos y cadenas, pero él había roto las cadenas y destrozado los grillos, y nadie era tan fuerte como para dominarlo.
5 Y siempre, noche y día, andaba entre los sepulcros y en los montes dando gritos e hiriéndose con piedras.
