Matthew 8:28

Gergesenes; called by Mark Gadarenes. It was a region on the eastern side of the lake, in which were two cities, Gergesa and Gadara.—Met him two. Mark speaks of but one, having reference, probably, to the principal speaker. There is no contradiction; but impostors, in fabricating accounts, would have guarded against such a difference.—The tombs. The sepulchres of the Jews were generally at some distance from the city, among the mountains, and in solitudes.
