AB Mark narrates the scene of the Gerasene Demoniac in a particularly extended way. The emphatic description of the obstacles overcome by Jesus is not only a matter of Mark’s colorful style. The plot’s complexity hides a very subtle theology concerning the Gentile mission. The two-stage narrative construction reveals Jesus’ project: after having showed his power over evil forces, Jesus plans the announcement of this power by the Gentiles. Thus, a plot of revelation appears behind the plot of resolution, showing many angles of the universal Gospel diffusion: its obstructions, its necessity, its legitimacy, its time limits, its actors.
