And when he was come out of the ship, immediately--(see Mar 5:6).
there met him a man with an unclean spirit--"which had devils [demons] long time" (Luk 8:27). In Matthew (Mat 8:28), "there met him two men possessed with devils." Though there be no discrepancy between these two statements--more than between two witnesses, one of whom testifies to something done by one person, while the other affirms that there were two--it is difficult to see how the principal details here given could apply to more than one case. |

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| A man with an unclean spirit - There are two mentioned by Matthew, who are termed demoniacs. See on Mar 1:23 (note). |
