Thank you for sharing this video. It is such a blessing. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this, hoping it will help us to broaden our understanding of this passage. To fully understand this passage, we need to read the sequence of events happening in the book. 1. Here we read of Jesus delivering a man who is totally in bondage and unable to free himself. 2000 pigs died in the lake. 2. Then we read about a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years (twelve is important). She was walking through the crowd, pressing on both sides, and Jesus healed her. Mark 5:25 3. Jesus raises a dead young girl who was twelve years old (again, twelve is important). Mark 5:42 4. Then Jesus fed thousands of people in the wilderness. Twelve baskets of food were collected (again, twelve is important). Mark 5:43 5. Then Jesus was transfigured and met Moses and Elijah. Then, after coming down the mountain, Jesus talked about a rebellious nation. Mark 9:2 But this time, we can know that Jesus was reliving the Exodus story that happened many years before his time here. Though this passage has its immediate context, it is good to know the bigger context, which is often mind-boggling. Blessings Pastor Caleb Martin Hilton Striving forward (Philippians 3:13)
Possible answer: To test the herdsmen who they LOVE MORE? Jesus message of enternal salvation or trusting in their own prosperity ( pigs as source food and wealth ).
I agree... 'cause we continue to read. They wanted Jesus to leave their town. They were afraid that he would destroy their income sort of speak. Instead of praising God... For the delivery of saving a souls( there were actually two men. If you read the other gospels.
Thank you looking deeper

Very interesting and I am interested in listening to a continuation of this.
