It is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with the miraculous works of Jesus Christ. The city is located southeast of the Sea of Galilee, in what is now modern-day Jordan. Gadara was known for its Hellenistic culture, which was prevalent in the region during the time of Christ.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>The most notable biblical reference to Gadara is found in the account of Jesus healing the demon-possessed man in the region of the Gadarenes. In the Gospel of Matthew, it is recorded: "When He arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way" (<a href="/matthew/8-28.htm">Matthew 8:28</a>). This passage highlights the power and authority of Jesus over demonic forces, as He commands the demons to leave the men and enter a herd of pigs, which then rush into the sea and drown.<br><br>The parallel accounts in the Gospels of Mark and Luke refer to the region as the "country of the Gerasenes" (<a href="/mark/5.htm">Mark 5:1</a>; <a href="/luke/8-26.htm">Luke 8:26</a>). This has led to some debate among scholars regarding the precise location, but it is generally accepted that Gadara was part of the broader region where these events took place.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>Gadara was a center of Greek culture and philosophy, known for its intellectual and artistic achievements. It was home to several notable philosophers and poets, including Menippus and Meleager. The city's Hellenistic influence is evident in its architecture, with remnants of theaters, temples, and baths that reflect the Greco-Roman style.<br><br>The Decapolis, of which Gadara was a part, was a group of cities that enjoyed a degree of autonomy under Roman rule. These cities were known for their Greek culture and were often in contrast to the predominantly Jewish regions surrounding them. This cultural backdrop provides insight into the diverse and often contentious environment in which Jesus ministered.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The account of Jesus' encounter in the region of Gadara underscores His authority over the spiritual realm and His compassion for those oppressed by evil. The dramatic transformation of the demon-possessed men serves as a powerful testament to the redemptive power of Christ. The reaction of the local populace, who pleaded with Jesus to leave their region after the loss of the pigs, reflects the tension between economic interests and spiritual truths.<br><br>Gadara's mention in the Gospels also highlights the reach of Jesus' ministry beyond the Jewish communities, as He brought His message of salvation to Gentile regions. This foreshadows the later mission of the apostles to spread the Gospel to all nations, emphasizing the universal scope of Christ's redemptive work.<br><br><b>Archaeological Insights:</b><br><br>Archaeological excavations at Gadara have uncovered significant ruins that provide a glimpse into its past grandeur. The city's strategic location and its role as a cultural hub are evidenced by the remains of its colonnaded streets, theaters, and other public buildings. These findings corroborate the historical accounts of Gadara as a thriving city during the time of Jesus.<br><br>In summary, Gadara holds a significant place in the New Testament narrative, illustrating the power of Jesus over evil and His mission to bring salvation to all people, regardless of cultural or ethnic background. The city's historical and archaeological legacy continues to offer valuable insights into the world in which Jesus lived and ministered.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gadara</span><p>a strong city situated near the river Hieromax, six miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee, over against Scythopolis and Tiberias, and 16 Roman miles distant from each of those places. Josephus calls it the capital of Peraea. The ruins of this city, now called <i>Um Keis</i> , are about two miles in circumference. The most interesting remains of Gadara are its tombs, which dot the cliffs for a considerable distance around the city. Godet says there is still a population of 200 souls in these tombs. Gadara was captured by Vespasian on the first outbreak of the war with the Jews, all its inhabitants were massacred, and the town itself, with the surrounding villages, was reduced to ashes.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gadara</span><p>Now Um-keis, a fortified chief city of Decapolis, of considerable importance in the time of Christ, and having many Greek inhabitants. It lay south of the river Hieromax, seven miles level summit of a steep limestone hill. A few ruins are found on the top of the hill; many excavated tombs on its sides, still partly occupied as residences; and warm springs at its base. The country of the Gadarenes extended to the Jordan and the Sea of Galilee; and in the part of its bordering on the lake occurred the miracle recorded in <a href="/matthew/8-28.htm">Matthew 8:28</a> 9:1 Mr 5:1-20 <a href="/context/luke/8-26.htm">Luke 8:26-39</a>.

Mark (<a href="/1_chronicles/5-1.htm">5:1</a>) and Luke (<a href="/1_chronicles/8-26.htm">8:26</a>-39) describe the miracle of the healing of the demoniac (<a href="/matthew/8-28.htm">Matthew 8:28</a>-34] says two demoniacs) as having been wrought "in the country of the Gadarenes," thus describing the scene generally. The miracle could not have been wrought at Gadara itself, for between the lake and this town there is the deep, almost impassable ravine of the Hieromax (Jarmuk). It is identified with the modern village of Um-Keis, which is surrounded by very extensive ruins, all bearing testimony to the splendour of ancient Gadara.<p>"The most interesting remains of Gadara are its tombs, which dot the cliffs for a considerable distance round the city, chiefly on the north-east declivity; but many beautifully sculptured sarcophagi are scattered over the surrounding heights. They are excavated in the limestone rock, and consist of chambers of various dimensions, some more than 20 feet square, with recesses in the sides for bodies...The present inhabitants of Um-Keis are all troglodytes, `dwelling in tombs,' like the poor maniacs of old, and occasionally they are almost as dangerous to unprotected travellers." <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">GADARA</span><p>gad'-a-ra (Gadara):<br><br>1. Country of the Gadarenes:<br><br>This city is not named in Scripture, but the territory belonging to it is spoken of as chora ton Gadarenon, "country of the Gadarenes" (<a href="/matthew/8-28.htm">Matthew 8:28</a>). In the parallel passages (<a href="/mark/5-1.htm">Mark 5:1</a> <a href="/luke/8-26.htm">Luke 8:26, 37</a>) we read: chora ton Gerasenon "country of the Gerasenes." There is no good reason, however, to question the accuracy of the text in either case. The city of Gadara is represented today by the ruins of Umm Qeis on the heights south of el-Chummeh-the hot springs in the Yarmuk valley-about 6 miles Southeast of the Sea of Galilee. It maybe taken as certain that the jurisdiction of Gadara, as the chief city in these regions, extended over the country East of the Sea, including the lands of the subordinate town, GERASA (which see). The figure of a ship frequently appears on its coins: conclusive. proof that its territory reached the sea. The place might therefore be called with propriety, either "land of the Gerasenes," with reference to the local center, or "land of the Gadarenes," with reference to the superior city.<br><br>(NOTE.-The Textus Receptus of the New Testament reading. ton Gergesenon, "of the Gergesenes," must be rejected (Westcott-Hort, II. App., 11).)<br><br>2. History:<br><br>The name Gadara appears to be Semitic It is still heard in Jedur, which attaches to the ancient rock tombs, with sarcophagi, to the East of the present ruins. They are closed by carved stone doors, and are used as storehouses for grain, and also as dwellings by the inhabitants. The place is not mentioned till later times. It was taken by Antiochus the Great when in 218 B.C. he first invaded Palestine (Polyb. v.71). Alexander Janneus invested the place, and reduced it after a ten months' siege (Ant., XIII, iii, 3; BJ, I, iv, 2). Pompey is said to have restored it, 63 B.C. (Ant., XIV, iv, 4; BJ, I, vii, 7); from which it would appear to have declined in Jewish hands. He gave it a free constitution. From this date the era of the city was reckoned. It was the seat of one of the councils instituted by Gabinius for the government of the Jews (Ant., XIV, v, 4; BJ, I, viii, 5). It was given by Augustus to Herod the Great in 30 B.C. (Ant., XV, vii, 3; BJ, I, xx, 3). The emperor would not listen to the accusations of the inhabitants against Herod for oppressive conduct (Ant., XV, x, 2). After Herod's death it was joined to the province of Syria, 4 B.C. (Ant., XVII, xi, 4; BJ, II, vi, 3). At the beginning of the Jewish revolt the country around Gadara was laid waste (BJ, II, xviii, 1). The Gadarenes captured some of the boldest of the Jews, of whom several were put to death, and others imprisoned (ibid., 5). A party in the city surrendered it to Vespasian, who placed a garrison there (BJ, IV, vii, 3). It continued to be a great and important city, and was long the seat of a bishop (Reland, Palestine, 776). With the conquest of the Moslems it passed under eclipse, and is now an utter ruin.<br><br>3. Identification and Description:<br><br>Umm Cheis answers the description given of Gadara by ancient writers. It was a strong fortress (Ant., XIII, iii, 3), near the Hieromax-i.e. Yarmuk (Pliny N H, xvi)-East of Tiberias and Scythopolis, on the top of a hill, 3 Roman miles from hot springs and baths called Amatha, on the bank of the Hieromax (Onomasticon, under the word). The narrow ridge on which the ruins lie runs out toward the Jordan from the uplands of Gilead, with the deep gorge of Wady Yarmuk-Hieromax-on the North, and Wady el `Arab on the South. The hot springs, as noted above, are in the bottom of the valley to the North. The ridge sinks gradually to the East, and falls steeply on the other three sides, so that the position was one of great strength. The ancient walls may be traced in almost their entire circuit of 2 miles. One of the great Roman roads ran eastward to Der`ah; and an aqueduct has been traced to the pool of el Khab, about 20 miles to the North of Der`ah. The ruins include those of two theaters, a basilica, a temple, and many important buildings, telling of a once great and splendid city. A paved street, with double colonnade, ran from East to West. The ruts worn in the pavement by the chariot wheels are still to be seen.<br><br>That there was a second Gadara seems certain, and it may be intended in some of the passages referred to above. It is probably represented by the modern Jedur, not far from es-Salt (Buhl, Buhl, Geographic des alten Palastina, 255; Guthe). Josephus gives Pella as the northern boundary of Peraea (BJ, III, iii, 3). This would exclude Gadara on the Hieromax. The southern city, therefore, should be understood as "the capital of Peraea" in BJ, IV; vii, 3.<br><br>Gadara was a member of the DECAPOLIS (which see).<br><br>W.
