This story is a repeat of what we’ve read this past Sunday for the Narrative Lectionary. Except, this time, it’s in the Gospel of Matthew. It also mentions a place name that’s a bit different than the “Gerasa” mentioned in Mark. This time, it’s called the country of the “Gaderenes.”

As far as biblical scholars know, the two places were actually the same. It was just the name that was different.

However there are slight changes with this reading as compared to the reading on Sunday.

Can you find the difference? Report on your findings!
