Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 5:14-16

"And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass. And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, [even] him that had the legion: and they were afraid. And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine." — Mark 5:14-16 (ASV)

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

What a wonderful sight that was for them to see! Yet they need not have been afraid; they ought instead to have rejoiced to see the poor demoniac sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind.
