Exorcisms Performed by Jesus – Spiritual Warfare (Chapter 6)

This is the most important exorcism story in the Synoptic Gospels because of its length and the severity of the man’s condition. The account is unique in that Jesus entered into a conversation with a demon, asked its name, granted it a request, and then demons went from a person into animals. All 3 Gospels, Matthew, Luke and Mark recount this story. Marks account being more extensive than the other two.

The setting is on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee in predominantly Gentile territory. Mark gives a detailed description of the demoniac’s condition, which is a classic description of demonization: a disregard for personal dignity (he was apparently naked), social isolation, a retreat to simple shelter (living among the tombs), a recognition of Jesus’s true identity, demonic control of speech, uncontrolled behavior (excessive shouting), and extraordinary strength (breaking chains).
