SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:3

que tenía domicilio en los sepulcros, y ni aun con cadenas le podía alguien atar;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 5:3

Verse 3. Who had his dwelling among the
tombs] See Matthew viii. 28.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. Who had his dwelling among the
tombs , etc..] Which is one of the characters of a madman among the Jews; who say it is f64 “the sign of a madman, that he goeth out in the night, twrbqh tybb ˆ lhw , “and lodges among the tombs”, and rends his garments, and loses what is given to him.”

The same they say, in the same place, of an hypochondriac, and melancholy man; and of Kordiacus, which they give out is a demon that possesses, and has power over some sort of persons: and no man could bind him, no, not with chains ; so as to hold him for any length of time: not only cords were insufficient to hold, but even chains of iron; so strong was he through the possession; for this could not be by his own natural strength.


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.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

3. The details of verses 3-5 are
peculiar to Mark. "The picture of the miserable man is fearful; and in drawing it, each evangelist has some touches which are peculiarly his own; but St. Mark's is the most eminently graphic of all, adding, as it does, many strokes Which wonderfully heighten the terribleness of the man's condition, and also magnify the glory of his cure" (Trench, "Miracles").

Dwelling (katoikhsin). The kata, down, gives the sense of a settled habitation. Compare our phrase settled down. So Tynd., his abiding.

The tombs (toiv mnhmasin). "In unclean places, unclean because of the dead men's bones which were there. To those who did not on this account shun them, these tombs of the Jews would afford ample shelter, being either natural caves or recesses hewn by art out of the rock, often so large as to be supported with columns, and with cells upon their sides for the reception of the dead. Being, too, without the cities, and oftentimes in remote and solitary places, they would attract those who sought to flee from all fellowship of their kind " (Trench, " Miracles ").


Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:3 {No man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain} (oude halusei oudeis edunato auton desai). Instrumental case halusei, a handcuff (a privative and luw, to loosen). But this demoniac snapped a handcuff as if a string.
