Mark 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.

15 et veniunt ad Iesum et vident illum qui a daemonio vexabatur sedentem vestitum et sanae mentis et timuerunt

16 et narraverunt illis qui viderant qualiter factum esset ei qui daemonium habuerat et de porcis

17 et rogare eum coeperunt ut discederet de finibus eorum

18 cumque ascenderet navem coepit illum deprecari qui daemonio vexatus fuerat ut esset cum illo
