Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to Mark 5: 1, in what region did the demonically-possessed man referred to as Legion live?

Answer: Gerasenes

The correct answer is Gerasenes. The area is near the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. The region is in present day Jordan, according to Wikipedia.

Answer: He would tear the chain apart and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

The correct answer is "he would tear the chain apart and no one was strong enough to subdue him." Either he was a strong man or the evil spirit inside him gave him super strength.

3. Mark 5: 5 states Legion would spend night and day among the tombs. What would he be doing during this time?

Answer: He would cry out and cut himself with stones.

The correct answer is "he would cry out and cut himself with stones." According to study notes in the NIV Study Bible, it was not unusual in Biblical times for caves to provide burial for the dead as well as shelter for the living. Destitute people often had no option but to live in such caves.

4. According to Mark 5: 6, what's the first thing the demon-possessed man did when he saw Jesus from a distance?

Answer: He ran and fell on his knees in front of Jesus.

The correct answer is he ran and fell on his knees in front of Jesus. It's interesting to note that Legion ran to Jesus, as if he knew he was meeting much more than an ordinary man.

Answer: He shouted at the top of his voice.

The correct answer is that Legion shouted at the top of his voice. With Jesus likely standing a few feet away, it's apparent Legion was in considerable torment, or the evil spirit inside him was terribly frightened by meeting Jesus.

6. According to Mark 5: 9, why was the demon-possessed man called Legion?

Answer: Because he had many demons inside him.

The correct answer is "because he had many demons inside him." Scripture tells of Jesus speaking to the demon inside the man when he asked his name. Verses 8 and 9 state: "For Jesus had said to him, 'Come out of this man, you evil spirit!' Then Jesus asked him, 'What is your name?' 'My name is Legion,' he replied, 'for we are many'." It's interesting to note the word legion is a military term for the Roman army with as many as 6,000 troops and 200 cavalry troops comprising a legion.

Answer: Into a nearby herd of pigs.

The correct answer is "into a herd of nearby pigs." Verses 11 to 13 state: "A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, 'Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.' He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs.

The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned." There is no mention in Scripture of who owned the pigs, but with Jews forbidden to eat pork, it's apparent the owner was a Gentile.

8. Mark 5: 14-15 tells of people from a nearby town and the countryside coming to see the demon-possessed man after his meeting with Jesus. How did the man look?

Answer: He was dressed and in his right mind.

The correct answer is he was dressed and in his right mind. In other words, the man had undergone a miraculous transformation -- from a demonic caveman to an everyday Joe.

9. As documented in Mark 5: 17, what do the people who came to see the demon possessed man plead with Jesus to do?

Answer: Leave the region.

The correct answer is leave the region. Verses 15 to 17 state: "When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man--and told about the pigs as well.

Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region." It's apparent they didn't want to see another major decline in the local pig population.

10. In Mark 5: 18, the man who had been demon possessed begged Jesus to let him go with him. However, what did Jesus tell him to do?

Answer: Go home and tell his family how much the Lord had done for him.

The correct answer is "go home and tell his family how much the Lord has done for him." Verses 18 - 20 state: "As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, 'Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.' So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed."
