SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:11
Y estaba allí cerca de los montes una grande manada de puercos paciendo;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 5:11
Verse 11. A great herd of swine] See the notes on Matt. viii. 30.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Now there was there, nigh unto the mountains , etc..] Where this man often was, ( Mark 5:5) according to Beza, the mountains of Galaad, which ran through that country, or the mountains that surrounded Tiberias. Some copies, as the Alexandrian copy and others, read at, or about the mountain, in the singular number. The Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions read, about the mountain. The Syriac and Ethiopic, at the mountain; so in ( Luke 8:32), a great herd of swine feeding ; on one side of the mountain, or mountains; it may be called a great one, for there were about two thousand hogs in it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - Some openly wilful sinners are like this madman. The commands of the law are as chains and fetters, to restrain sinners from their wicke courses; but they break those bands in sunder; and it is an evidence of the power of the devil in them. A legion of soldiers consisted of sin thousand men, or more. What multitudes of fallen spirits there must be and all enemies to God and man, when here was a legion in one poor wretched creature! Many there are that rise up against us. We are not match for our spiritual enemies, in our own strength; but in the Lord and in the power of his might, we shall be able to stand against them though there are legions of them. When the vilest transgressor i delivered by the power of Jesus from the bondage of Satan, he wil gladly sit at the feet of his Deliverer, and hear his word, wh delivers the wretched slaves of Satan, and numbers them among his saints and servants. When the people found that their swine were lost they had a dislike to Christ. Long-suffering and mercy may be seen even in the corrections by which men lose their property while their lives are saved, and warning given them to seek the salvation of their souls. The man joyfully proclaimed what great things Jesus had done for him. All men marvelled, but few followed him. Many who cannot but wonder at the works of Christ, yet do not, as they ought, wonder afte him.
