	Umm Qais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon close observation of the earliest Greek manuscripts, the Alexandrian texts, the original reading of Matthew is “in the region of the Gadarenes,” and the original text of Mark and Luke is “in the country of the Gerasenes”.
		It may be taken as certain that the jurisdiction of Gadara, as the chief city in these regions, extended over the country East of the Sea, including the lands of the subordinate town, Gerasa.
		The Gadarenes captured some of the boldest of the Jews, of whom several were put to death, and others imprisoned (ibid., 5).

	G - Smith's Bible Dictionary
		Gadara was captured by Vespasian on the first outbreak of the war with the Jews, all its inhabitants were massacred, and the town itself, with the surrounding villages, was reduced to ashes.
		Gadarenes, Girgesenes, Gerasenes (These three names are used indiscriminately to designate the place where Jesus healed two demoniacs.
		The district of the Gerasenes probably included that of the Gadarenes; so that the demoniac of Gergesa belonged to the country of the Gadarenes and also to that of the Gerasenes, as the same person may, with equal truth, be said to live in the city or the state, or in the United States.

		This was in the country of the Gadarenes where the man who lived among the tombs, and was possessed by a legion of demons, recognized Him as the Son of the most high God.
		In the Gadarenes we see mankind who has fallen to its lowest state of depravity, and in a calm but sure word, Jesus sends all the demons into humanity's livelihood -- the swine -- and wrecks their "precious" economy.
		After being driven from the land of the Gadarenes by the angry mob of swine herders and others of that region, He crossed back over to the other side and raised the dead twelve year old daughter of one of the synagogue's rulers (Mark 5:35-42).

		Mark (Mar 5:1) and Luke (Luk 8:26) describe the miracle of the healing of the demoniac (Mat 8:28 says two demoniacs) as having been wrought "in the country of the Gadarenes," thus describing the scene generally.
		The miracle could not have been wrought at Gadara itself, for between the lake and this town there is the deep, almost impassable ravine of the Hieromax (Jarmuk).

	A Commentary on the NT--Mark, Chapters 5-8
		We say the region of the Gergesenes was of broader extent and signification than the region of the Gadarenes was, and that the region of the Gadarenes was included within it.
		We believe that that Gadarene was a heathen; and that Mark and Luke mentioned only him on set purpose, that so they might make the story the more famous.
		Our Saviour, therefore, healed those two in Matthew together, the one, a Gadarene and heathen, and the other from some other place, a Gergesene and a Jew; and that not without a mystery; namely, that there should be comfort in Christ both to Jews and Gentiles, against the power and tyranny of Satan.

	UNTO THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH to the Gadarenes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the same way that the demons of the Gadarenes saw Jesus as the full-grown, manifested Son of God, so shall the powers of darkness in the tombs of the carnal minds of this present age see the Sons of God when the dawn of manifestation comes.
		Like the Dead Sea, the Gadarenes is the end of man's journey as he comes to the close of the ages wherein death has reigned, and it is in this region that the Sons begin their ministry of reconciliation and deliverance.
		The heavy load of the fulness of death is lifted from humanity's burdened shoulders; and in its place is given righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holiness of Jesus Christ.

	The Reformed Witness Hour: "The Gadarene Demoniac"
		This is the portion of God's Word which tells us of the marvelous healing of the Gadarene demoniac - when Jesus cast a thousand demons out of one man. It is a very beautiful picture, first of all, of the powerful and sovereign love of God both to find and then to deliver its object.
		We read in II Timothy 2:19, "The Lord knoweth them that are his." And again the Savior would say in John 10, "I know my sheep; my Father has given them to me." You see, the deliverance of this man from awful demon possession was not hit and miss, or a happy coincidence.
		The Lord came to the land of the Gadarenes, which was a mountainous area.

		And when He had come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs; they were so exceedingly violent that no one could pass by that road.

		The "Gadarenes" (meaning "a stranger drawing near") were the residents of Gadara, one of the cities of the Decapolis and the capital of the Roman province of Perea, controlled by Herod Antipas.
		The miracle could not have taken place at Gadara itself, for between the lake and the town there is the deep, almost impassable ravine of the Jarmuk River (Hieromax).
		Gadara, which is mentioned in the Gospels only in connection with the healing of the demon-possessed men (man), was dominant enough to give its name to the entire area (thus the term "region of the Gadarenes" in Matthew's account).

		Jesus entered the land of the Gadarenes, was met by a man possessed of a Legion of demons, He cast the demons out of the man, they entered the swine grazing on the hillside, the herd in turn tore down the bank into the sea, and drowned.
		The sea is the entrance to what’s under the earth, the sea is the symbol of the abyss, the nether gloom, the pit, hell.
		But Jesus, dear congregation, has a heart even for the heathen of the land of the Gadarenes and so causes these demons to be sent out of this land, more, to be sent off of "the earth beneath" into the "waters under the earth", back to the hell where they belong.

	The Gadarene Demoniac - Homily of a Russian Orthodox Priest on the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost
		The story begins "And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes." [2] When we read the context, we can see this is right after the Lord had preached about the sower, then they got into a ship.
		When they crossed over, during that time, there was a storm, and the apostles were terrified even though He was in the ship with them There was another time when He came walking across the water in a storm; that was a difference occurrence.
		God help us to truly follow Christ, and to not be like these Gadarene swine keepers, but when we see something wrong with us, we would cleave to Christ, and we would be healed.

		This is why Matthew says it was “in the region” of the Gadarenes, not in Gadara.
		It is possible that the Gadarenes were Gentiles, and that the owners of the pigs were Gentiles as well.
		And while most of us were not rescued from demons like them, we can share with the Gadarenes the testimony that Christ has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and made us whole.

		And it is quite certain that the narrators of the Gadarene story do not, in any way, refer to the point of morality and legality thus raised; as I said, they show no inkling of the moral and legal difficulties which arise.
		Even "rapid judgment" cannot be pleaded in excuse for this surprising statement, because a "Note on the Gadarene miracle" is added (in a special appendix), in which the references are [383] given to the passages of Josephus, by the improved interpretation of which, Mr.

		Such is the befitting frame for that terrible picture which we are now to contemplate; a theme uninviting in itself, and encompassed with not a few difficulties—but which, occurring, as it does, in the order of the narrative, we dare not pass in silence.
		Again and again had the neighboring Gadarenes, for their own protection and safety, attempted to curb his fury, binding him with iron chains and "fetters;" but these he had broken like thread.
		Both from the case of this Gadarene Demoniac and the one in the Synagogue of Capernaum, we learn, that, great as was the sway of Satan over the bodies and souls of men, it was not such as to prevent them taking themselves to Jesus, and seeking His mercy.

		Gadara was located east of The Jordan River on a mountain about 6 miles / 10 kilometers south-east of The Sea Of Galilee.
		The people of Gadara were known as Gadarenes, although the general area was also known as the "country of the Gerasenes" after the city of Gerasa which was about 45 miles / 73 kilometers farther south.
		They were still mostly Gentiles in the time of Christ, as indicated by their keeping of pigs (see Clean and Unclean) in the Scripture references below.

		Gerasa was a city of the Decapolis (modern Jerash in Transjordan) located more than thirty miles to the southeast of the Sea of Galilee and, as Origen perceived (Commentary on John, v, 41 (24)), is the least likely of the three places.
		But in a few copies we have found, "into the country of the Gadarenes." On this reading, Gadara is described as a town of Judea.
		The variant readings 'Gadarenes' and 'Gergesenes' were probably scribal attempts (by scribes who knew of the Perean Gerasa but not of the lakeshore village) to correct what appeared to be an error in topography.
