Footnotes
- 128 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
- 129 See the note on “Gerasenes” in v. for the same geographical options for the textual variants.
- 130 Grk “all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes,” but according to L&N 1.80, “περίχωρος may include not only the surrounding region but also the point of reference, for example … ‘the Gerasenes and the people living around them’ Lk 8:37.”
- 131 Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 132 Or “to depart from them.”
- 133 Again there is great fear at God’s activity, but there is a different reaction. Some people want nothing to do with God’s presence. Mark 5:16 hints that economic reasons motivated their request.
- 134 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ departure was the result of the Gerasenes’ response. A new sentence was started in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.
- 135 Grk “returned,” but the effect is that he departed from the Gerasene region.
