Bible Question: Why the difference in the number of men with demons in Matthew and Mark ? |
Bible Answer: puddnhead Hi and welcome to the forum. Your question is why does Matthew 8:28-34 talk about two men demon possessed while Mark 5:1-20 and Luke 26-39 tell of one. One thing we can be sure there was at least one! Also notice neither Mark nor Luke say there was “only” one. Since Mark and Luke don’t limit it to one man we don’t have a problem. Apparently one man was more dominate or more out spoken than the other and Mark and Luke just recorded the dialogue between that one man and Jesus where Matthew reported the whole event. EdB |
