| Mrk 5:1 | Lalu sampailah mereka di seberang danau, di daerah orang Gerasa. |
| Mrk 5:2 | Baru saja Yesus turun dari perahu, datanglah seorang yang kerasukan roh jahat dari pekuburan menemui Dia. |
| Mrk 5:3 | Orang itu diam di sana dan tidak ada seorangpun lagi yang sanggup mengikatnya, sekalipun dengan rantai, |
| Mrk 5:4 | karena sudah sering ia dibelenggu dan dirantai, tetapi rantainya diputuskannya dan belenggunya dimusnahkannya, sehingga tidak ada seorangpun yang cukup kuat untuk menjinakkannya. |
| Mrk 5:5 | Siang malam ia berkeliaran di pekuburan dan di bukit-bukit sambil berteriak-teriak dan memukuli dirinya dengan batu. |
| Mrk 5:6 | Ketika ia melihat Yesus dari jauh, berlarilah ia mendapatkan-Nya lalu menyembah-Nya, |
| Mrk 5:7 | dan dengan keras ia berteriak: "Apa urusan-Mu dengan aku, hai Yesus, Anak Allah Yang Mahatinggi? Demi Allah, jangan siksa aku!" |
| Mrk 5:8 | Karena sebelumnya Yesus mengatakan kepadanya: "Hai engkau roh jahat! Keluar dari orang ini!" |
| Mrk 5:9 | Kemudian Ia bertanya kepada orang itu: "Siapa namamu?" Jawabnya: "Namaku Legion, karena kami banyak." |
| Mrk 5:10 | Ia memohon dengan sangat supaya Yesus jangan mengusir roh-roh itu keluar dari daerah itu. |
| Mrk 5:11 | Adalah di sana di lereng bukit sejumlah besar babi sedang mencari makan, |
| Mrk 5:12 | lalu roh-roh itu meminta kepada-Nya, katanya: "Suruhlah kami pindah ke dalam babi-babi itu, biarkanlah kami memasukinya!" |
| Mrk 5:13 | Yesus mengabulkan permintaan mereka. Lalu keluarlah roh-roh jahat itu dan memasuki babi-babi itu. Kawanan babi yang kira-kira dua ribu jumlahnya itu terjun dari tepi jurang ke dalam danau dan mati lemas di dalamnya. |
| Mrk 5:14 | Maka larilah penjaga-penjaga babi itu dan menceriterakan hal itu di kota dan di kampung-kampung sekitarnya. Lalu keluarlah orang untuk melihat apa yang terjadi. |
| Mrk 5:15 | Mereka datang kepada Yesus dan melihat orang yang kerasukan itu duduk, sudah berpakaian dan sudah waras, orang yang tadinya kerasukan legion itu. Maka takutlah mereka. |
| Mrk 5:16 | Orang-orang yang telah melihat sendiri hal itu menceriterakan kepada mereka tentang apa yang telah terjadi atas orang yang kerasukan setan itu, dan tentang babi-babi itu. |
| Mrk 5:17 | Lalu mereka mendesak Yesus supaya Ia meninggalkan daerah mereka. |
| Mrk 5:18 | Pada waktu Yesus naik lagi ke dalam perahu, orang yang tadinya kerasukan setan itu meminta, supaya ia diperkenankan menyertai Dia. |
| Mrk 5:19 | Yesus tidak memperkenankannya, tetapi Ia berkata kepada orang itu: "Pulanglah ke rumahmu, kepada orang-orang sekampungmu, dan beritahukanlah kepada mereka segala sesuatu yang telah diperbuat oleh Tuhan atasmu dan bagaimana Ia telah mengasihani engkau!" |
| Mrk 5:20 | Orang itupun pergilah dan mulai memberitakan di daerah Dekapolis segala apa yang telah diperbuat Yesus atas dirinya dan mereka semua menjadi heran. |
RENUNGAN
Tuhan Yesus mengusir roh jahat yang bernama Legion, setelah mengusir roh jahat itu yang masuk ke dalam babi - babi lalu semua babi itu mati terjun ke dalam jurang. Kuasa Tuhan begitu luar biasa hingga bisa mengusir roh jahat itu, serta memindahkan ke babi itu. Karena Tuhan Yesus ingin menyelamatkan orang yang menderita selama itu, karena kasih Nya maka Tuhan Yesus membebaskan orang itu dari belenggu roh jahat.
Dan warga sekitar kota mendengar hal itu soal orang kerasukan yang sembuh dan babi - babi yang mati. Tetapi warga kota mendesak Yesus untuk pergi dari tempat itu, entah mengapa mungkin karena mereka takut atau karena mereka marah setelah babi - babi itu mati. Itulah orang - orangt yang menolak Tuhan Yesus padahal Tuhan Yesus ingin menolong manusia.
Oleh sebab itu kita perlu membuka hati kita agar Tuhan Yesus datang kepada kita, jangan tolak Dia yang Maha Besar, sebab Tuhan mengasihi kita dan menghendaki agar kita mengikuti ajaran2 dan perintah Nya.
Ya TUhan Lindungilah aku dari jahat
Semoga diriku terus terlindungi oleh Mu Tuhan Yesus
Aku percaya akan kuasa Tuhan Yesus yang mengusir roh jahat
dan selalu menolong ku 24 Jam
Terima kasih Tuhan
Amen

Here is the English translation of the verses you provided:
Mark 5:1 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.
Mark 5:2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
Mark 5:3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
Mark 5:4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
Mark 5:5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains, he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Mark 5:6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
Mark 5:7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
Mark 5:8 For he was saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
Mark 5:9 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
Mark 5:10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.
Mark 5:11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside,
Mark 5:12 and they begged him, saying, "Send us to the pigs; let us enter them."
Mark 5:13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.
Mark 5:14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.
Mark 5:15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
Mark 5:16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.
Mark 5:17 And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region.
Mark 5:18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.
Mark 5:19 And he did not permit him but said to him, "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."
Mark 5:20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.
REFLECTION
Lord Jesus expelled the evil spirit named Legion, after casting out the evil spirit that entered the pigs, causing them to plunge into the abyss and die. The power of the Lord is so extraordinary that it can drive out evil spirits and transfer them to pigs. Because Jesus wants to save those who have suffered for so long, out of His love, He liberates the person from the bondage of the evil spirit.
The people in the surrounding town heard about the healed demon-possessed man and the pigs that died. However, the townspeople urged Jesus to leave the place, perhaps out of fear or anger after the pigs died. These are the people who rejected Jesus, even though He wanted to help humanity.
Therefore, we need to open our hearts so that Lord Jesus comes to us. Let's not reject the Almighty One, for the Lord loves us and desires us to follow His teachings and commands.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from evil.
May I always be shielded by You, Lord Jesus.
I believe in the power of Lord Jesus, who casts out evil spirits
and is always there to help me 24/7.
Thank you, Lord.
Amen.
