What the Fathers say

Mark 5:15

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Struck by the miracle, the inhabitants of that city came out to Jesus, and having heard the details, they were even more frightened.

Commentary on Mark ↗

Titus of Bostra

Wherefore it goes on: And they came to Jesus, and see him that was tormented by the devil, &c. that is, at the feet of Him from whom he had obtained health; a man, whom before, not even chains could bind, clothed and in his right mind, though he used to be continually naked; and they were amazed; wherefore it says, And they were afraid.
