idea that the destruction of the swine was a part of the cure. They had to be drowned that he might be restored to sanity.—Ver. 37. Τε. is very careful to involve the whole population in the request that Jesus would leave the country—the whole multitude of the district of Gerasa, town and country, citizens and farmers. And he gives as the reason, ὅτι φόβῳ µεγάλῳ συνείχοντο, they were possessed with a great fear, panic-stricken.—Ver. 38. éd€ero, Ionic form of the imperfect of δέοµαι. W. and H. prefer ἐδεῖτο, the reading of BL. The healed man’s request, though not granted, would gratify Jesus, as a con- trast to the unanimous petition of the Gerasenes that He would leave the place. —Ver. 39. ὑπόστρεφε: it was good for the man that he should return to his home and people, and tell them what had befallen him through the mercy of God (ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεός). It was good for the people also. They needed a missionary greatly.—kxa@’ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν, over the whole city. Mk. says in Decapolis.

shore, and proceeding to narrate the incidents of the woman with a flux, and Jairus’ daughter.—o ὄχλος, the crowd. This crowd is unexplained by Lk., who says nothing of a crowd when he intro- duces his narrative of the voyage to the eastern shore (ver. 22). In Mk. the presence of a crowd is easily accounted for: Jesus had suddenly left the great congregation to which He had spoken in parables, and as His stay on the eastern side was cut short, when He returned to the western shore the crowd had hardly dispersed, or at least could reassemble on short notice.g Mk. does not say the crowd, but a great crowd.— ἀπεδέξατο implies a cordial reception. Cf. Acts xv. 4. Raphel gives examples of this sense from Greek authors. Euthy. took it in this sense, giving as the reason for the welcome: ὥς εὐεργέτην καὶ σωτῆρα. -- προσδοκῶντε: the parables, not to speak of recent healings, account for the expectation.
