Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 8:28

"And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way." — Matthew 8:28 (ASV)

Did they come out to oppose Him? As He steps on the shore, did Satan mean to drive Him back by this double legion of demons? The tombs were Satan’s castle. He used the madness of these afflicted men as his weapons of war. They had driven away everybody else; will they stop the advance of the Lord Jesus? They were exceeding fierce. Will they frighten Him into flight?
