Marco 5:16

16 E coloro che avean veduta la cosa raccontaron loro come era avvenuto all’indemoniato, e il fatto de’ porci.

Marco 5:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:16

And they that saw it
Not the keepers of the swine, for they were fled and gone; but others that were eyewitnesses of the whole affair, who lived in houses hard by, or were working in the fields; or the disciples of Christ:

told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil;
gave a particular account, how, upon first sight of Christ, he ran to meet him, and fell down and worshipped him; how Christ ordered the unclean spirit to come out of him; and how he was dispossessed of a legion of devils by a word speaking:

and also concerning the swine;
how, at the request of the devils, and by the leave of Christ, they entered into them; upon which they ran mad; and betaking themselves to the rocks by the sea side, fell down the precipice, and were suffocated in the sea.

Marco 5:16 In-Context

14 E coloro che pasturavano i porci fuggirono, e rapportaron la cosa nella città, e per li campi; e la gente uscì fuori, per vedere ciò che era avvenuto.

15 E venne a Gesù, e vide l’indemoniato che sedeva, ed era vestito; e colui che avea avuta la legione essere in buon senno; e temette.

16 E coloro che avean veduta la cosa raccontaron loro come era avvenuto all’indemoniato, e il fatto de’ porci.

17 Ed essi presero a pregarlo che se ne andasse da’ lor confini.

18 E come egli fu entrato nella navicella, colui ch’era stato indemoniato lo pregava di poter stare con lui.
