In the Gospels, demons often acknowledge Jesus' divine power and authority, which contrasts with the disbelief of many humans. The repeated begging indicates the demons' fear of being cast out and their recognition of Jesus' power over them. This aligns with <a href="/james/2-19.htm">James 2:19</a>, where even demons believe in God and shudder.<p><b>not to send them out</b><br>The demons' request not to be sent out reflects their desire to remain in a familiar territory. In Jewish thought, demons were often associated with specific locations or regions. This request underscores the spiritual battle taking place and the demons' understanding of their limitations under Jesus' authority. It also highlights the spiritual reality of territorial spirits, which is a theme seen in <a href="/daniel/10-13.htm">Daniel 10:13</a>, where a spiritual being is associated with a specific region.<p><b>of that region</b><br>The region referred to is the area of the Gerasenes, located on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee. This area was predominantly Gentile, which is significant as it shows Jesus' ministry extending beyond Jewish territories. The presence of a large herd of pigs, considered unclean animals in Jewish law, further indicates the Gentile nature of the region. This setting provides a backdrop for Jesus' power and authority being recognized and feared by spiritual forces, regardless of geographical or cultural boundaries.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>The central figure in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is the Son of God who performs miracles and teaches with authority.

It would appear as though this evil spirit felt (speaking in the name of the other evil spirits) that if they were driven out from their present dwelling-places, their condition would be changed for the worse; and that until the time should come when they were to be cast into the abyss, their best relief was to possess some materialism, to occupy flesh and blood, and that flesh and blood tenanted by a spiritual being, through whom they might torment others. They could find no rest, no relief, but in this. "The unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not" (<a href="/matthew/12-43.htm">Matthew 12:43</a>).
