Markus 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:4

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and
chains
Trial had been made several times, to no purpose; his arms had been bound with chains, and his feet with fetters, which was very proper to prevent doing hurt to himself, and injury to others:

and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters
broken in pieces;
as if they had been twine threads; such was his strength, through the force of madness, and the possession of Satan, and his diabolical influence:

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.

Markus 5:4 In-Context

2 En zo Hij uit het schip gegaan was, terstond ontmoette Hem, uit de graven, een mens met een onreinen geest;
3 Dewelke zijn woning in de graven had, en niemand kon hem binden, ook zelfs niet met ketenen.
4 Want hij was menigmaal met boeien en ketenen gebonden geweest, en de ketenen waren van hem in stukken getrokken, en de boeien verbrijzeld, en niemand was machtig om hem te temmen.
5 En hij was altijd, nacht en dag, op de bergen en in de graven, roepende en slaande zichzelven met stenen.
6 Als hij nu Jezus van verre zag, liep hij toe, en aanbad Hem.
