Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(walled). A city
six
miles S. E. of
Sea
of
Galilee
.
Jesus
healed the demoniac there. Now Um-keis.
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The capital of the Roman province of Peraea. It is referred to in
the Gospels
as in “the country of the
Gadarenes
.” It has been identified with the ruins at
Umm Keis
, 32° 40' N, 35° 40' E, that is S. E. of the
Sea
of
Galilee
, but the town is too far from
the sea
to have been the scene of the miracle; besides which there is a deep ravine between the ruins of the town and the sea. There are many large tombs in the district, in which some of the rude inhabitants still take up their abode, as the demoniac had done (
Mark 5:1-3
1
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3
Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: (Mark 5:1‑3)
). See GADARENES.
