Footnotes

  1. 86 Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary and transition in the narrative.
  2. 87 The textual tradition here is quite complicated. Most , especially later ones (A W Ψ f13 𝔐 sy), read “Gadarenes,” which is the better reading in Matt 8:28. Some (א L Θ Ξ f1 33 579 700* 1241 ) have “Gergesenes.” But early and important representatives of the Alexandrian and Western texttypes (𝔓75 B D latt) have “Gerasenes,” the reading followed in the translation. The difference between Matthew and Luke may well have to do with uses of variant regional terms. The region of the Gerasenes would be in Gentile territory on the (south)eastern side of the Sea of Galilee across from Galilee. Matthew 8:28 records this miracle as occurring “in the region of the Gadarenes.” “Irrespective of how one settles this issue, for the Third Evangelist the chief concern is that Jesus has crossed over into Gentile territory, ‘opposite Galilee’ ” (J. B. Green, Luke [], ). The region of Gadara extended to the Sea of Galilee and included the town of Sennabris on the southern shore—the town that the herdsmen most likely entered after the drowning of the pigs.
  3. 88 That is, across the Sea of Galilee from Galilee.
