NASB | Mark 5:1 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 5:1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes. [Matt 8:28-34; Luke 8:26-37] |
Bible Question:
In Mathew 8:28-34 it states that when the Jesus crossed the sea with the disciples that two possessed men met them in the land of Gergesenes. And then in Mark 5:1-20 it states that when Jesus crossed the sea with the disciples that one possessed man met them in the land of Gadarenes. Question: Is this the same occurrence told from two different point of views- or is a totally different location? Just a little confused |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jones! The textual traditions vary quite a bit on this point. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all have manuscripts that support several different readings. The most likely explanation is that there were either different regional terms for the area, or a variety of spellings. But, they all refer to the same location. I hope this helps!
