Marcos 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:4

neither could any man tame him;
by any methods whatever; even such who undertook the cure of madness, or to exorcise those that were possessed: this man was so furious and outrageous, that he was not to be managed any way, either by art or force.

5 Y siempre, noche y día, andaba entre los sepulcros y en los montes dando gritos e hiriéndose con piedras.

6 Cuando vio a Jesús de lejos, corrió y se postró delante de El;
