5th Sunday After Pentecost
Orthodox Study Bible
Mt. 8:28-34 The two Gergesene demoniacs are unsuitable for society and live at a great distance from the village. They are possessed by mental derangement, which makes them aggressive and self-destructive. The demons in them recognize Jesus as the Son of God. They know they have nothing in common with Him, for Jesus seeks man’s salvation; but His presence torments them and expels them. They are surprised that their power is being terminated before the time of the last judgment. Thus, even before His Resurrection Jesus rescues people from the devil’s control. Jesus does not yield to their request but sends them out by His will: though the malice and deceitfulness of the demons is great, they can do nothing unless He permits them. Even the demoniacs had enjoyed God’s providential care. The demons’ entering into the swine (v. 32), which were unclean for the Jews, is a sign of the reality of the demoniacs’ healing. Jesus’ sovereign power is not only over physical infirmity, but over mental illness as well. It shows us the incomparable value of human beings, whose salvation is worth every sacrifice.
