AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 5:2 When Jesus got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him, |
Bible Question: In Mark 5:2, regarding the story of Jesus and the man among the tombs at Gerasenes, it says Jesus got out of the boat after landing in Gentile country. Do you think the disciples followed Jesus or were they too cautious of becoming unclean? With that in mind, in Mark 6:45 Jesus tells the disciples to go ahead of Him into Gentile country again. This time they go without hesitation. Why? |
Bible Answer: Greetings dutchman! Whether the disciples went ahead or stayed behind, I am convinced that they had no idea whatsoever that they were going to meet up with a man with an unclean spirit that day. So it is quite possible that the man caught the disciples totally by surprise! However, Jesus had everything under control, and He knew just what exactly was going to happen that day, fully knowing what the disciples would learn from the encounter. Blessings to you, Nolan |
