Matthew 8:28 - 8:34
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg discusses the disparity in the accounts of the demon-possessed men mentioned in Matthew 8:28-34. He clarifies that although one gospel writer mentions one man while another mentions two, it is likely that there were indeed two demon-possessed men. Gregg also addresses the question of why Jesus allowed the demons to possess the pigs, explaining that pigs were considered unclean animals by the Jews and that the loss of the pigs was a significant cost to the owner. Ultimately, the two men were freed from their torment and were no longer a terror to those around them.
