gerasenes, n.Definitions

The Gerasenes (n.) drove ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Jesus out after he cured their demoniac, the cure they claimed to want, because the cure threatened the thing they needed.

The Gerasenes (n.) fear ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a stronger master: their demoniac Legion kept some order, and Jesus who overpowers him might plunder everything.

The Gerasenes (n.) are ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠honest by comparison with us: they admit it is hard to live without scapegoats and demons, unlike the imperious users of the consumer society.
