Commentary

Commentary on Mark 5:12

Theological / Devotional

The devils besought. See on v. 10.

Send us. It was Satan’s purpose to turn the people of this region against the Saviour by making it appear that He was responsible for the destruction of their property. The immediate result seemed to justify the devil’s evil expectations. But the ministry of the transformed men who previously had been known throughout the district as demoniacs, together with news of the herd of swine that perished in the sea to confirm their story, served as nothing else could possibly have done to turn the people of the region to Jesus (see on vs. 19, 20).
