Mark 5:18 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil, [`he that had been demonized'-the word is not now daimonizomenos (G1139), but daimonistheis (G1139)]

Prayed him that he might be with him - the grateful heart, fresh from the hands of demons, clinging to its wondrous Benefactor. How exquisitely natural!
