picture info	Gadara Gadara ( or ; ), in some texts Gedaris, was an ancient Hellenistic city in what is now Jordan, for a long time member of the Decapolis city league, a former bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see. Its ruins are today located at Umm Qais, a small town in the Bani Kinanah Department and Irbid Governorate in Jordan, near its borders with Israel and Syria. It stood on a hill above sea level overlooking the Yarmouk River gorge, with the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee well visible to the north and northwest. This city is distinct from another contemporary one, ''Gadara'' or ''Gadora'' of Peraea, identified with the archaeological mound of Tell el-Jadur near Salt, Jordan. History Gadara was situated in a defensible position on a ridge accessible to the east but protected by steep falls on the other three sides. It was well-watered, with access to the Ain Qais spring and cisterns.. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Gadara was a centre of Greek culture ...

It is the largest city in the Bani Kinanah Department and Irbid Governorate in the extreme northwest of the country, near Jordan's borders with Israel and Syria.

picture info	Exorcism Of The Gerasene Demoniac The exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Matthew 8:28–34; Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39), frequently known as the Miracle of the (Gadarene) Swine and the exorcism of Legion, is one of the miracles of Jesus, miracles performed by Jesus according to the New Testament. The story shows Jesus exorcism, exorcising a demon or demons out of a man and into a herd of swine, causing the swine to run down a hill into a lake and drown themselves. The man whom Jesus heals is also specifically mentioned to be a Gentile in Gospel of Mark, Mark's gospel, and he was commanded to proclaim the Gospel to the Gentile residents of the Decapolis following his exorcism. Many scholars and theologians thus count him as Jesus' first Apostle to the Gentiles. The story appears in the three Synoptic Gospels, but not the Gospel of John. All accounts involve Jesus exorcising demons, identified collectively in Gospel of Mark, Mark and Gospel of Luke, Luke as "Legion (demons), Legion". The story was interpreted by ...
