Mark 5:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Mark 5:10
The demons 'besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.' The verb 'besought' (παρεκάλει, imperfect tense) indicates repeated, insistent pleading. They feared being sent 'out of the country' (ἔξω τῆς χώρας)—perhaps to the abyss (Luke 8:31), realm of disembodied torment. Demons prefer embodiment, whether human or animal. Their plea shows they operate under divine constraints—they cannot act without permission. Even evil spirits must submit to Christ's authority. Their desperation reveals terror of final judgment and temporary 'unemployment' in disembodied state.
