GERASENES

(Gk. Gerasēnoí)
(also GADARENES; GERGESENES)

A Transjordanian people in whose territory Jesus encountered two “demoniacs,” exorcising their demons and transferring them to a herd of swine (Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26). In the version of the incident in Matt. 8:28 they are called Gadarenes. Both forms, as well as Gergesenes, are attested in the ancient versions of each account. The name Gerasenes is associated with Jerash, N of Amman.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
