What happensPermalink
Jesus performs three healing miracles in the Decapolis (cities east of the Jordan): the Gerasene possessed by legions of demons, the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood, and Jairus’s daughter.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus shows His disciples that His power is for Gentiles also, not just Jews. He demonstrates authority over legions of demons, chronic illness, and even death.
