Joe: "Alright so we've got a Bible expert here in the studio today, let's get right into it. What's goin' on with Mark 5?"

Bible Expert: "Well, Mark 5 starts with Jesus coming to the region of the Gerasenes, and he is confronted by a man who is possessed by many demons. The man is so strong that no one can pass that way. Jesus then commands the demons to leave the man and they go into a herd of pigs that were nearby, causing the pigs to run into a lake and drown. This event causes a great fear among the people of the town who then ask Jesus to leave.

Joe: Whoa, which is crazy! So then what happens?

Bible Expert: Jesus then goes to the town of Jairus, and Jairus begs him to heal his daughter, who is dying. Jesus goes with Jairus to his house and raises his daughter from the dead. Then Jesus is confronted by a woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years. After touching the hem of Jesus’s garment, she is healed.

Joe: Wait, so Jesus has the power to heal people and to raise them from the dead?

Bible Expert: Yes, that’s right.

Joe: Wow, that’s incredible. So then what happens?

Bible Expert: Jesus then returns to his hometown and is not welcomed by the people. He then proceeds to teach in the synagogue and is amazed at their lack of faith. He then proceeds to heal many people and cast out demons, again shocking the people. The chapter ends with Jesus and his disciples sailing off to a new town.
