Mark 5:4
_ _ Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, etc. — Luke says (Luke 8:29) that “oftentimes it [the unclean spirit] had caught him”; and after mentioning how they had vainly tried to bind him with chains and fetters, because, “he brake the bands,” he adds, “and was driven of the devil [demon] into the wilderness.” The dark tyrant-power by which he was held clothed him with superhuman strength and made him scorn restraint. Matthew (Matthew 8:28) says he was “exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.” He was the terror of the whole locality. |
- tame:
James 3:7-8 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: ... But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
