Jesus Heals Two Demon-Possessed Men
“And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.”
Matthew 8:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 8:28
The mention of 'two possessed with devils' in the country of the Gergesenes introduces the dramatic exorcism that follows. Matthew mentions two demoniacs while Mark and Luke focus on one (perhaps the more prominent). Their dwelling among tombs and exceeding fierceness demonstrates the dehumanizing effects of demonic possession—isolation from community, dwelling with death, and violence. This illustrates Satan's work of theft, killing, and destruction (John 10:10).
