GERGESA*, GERGESENES*
City on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Gergesa is near Gadara, probable site of Jesus’ miracle of healing a demon-possessed man and casting the demons into a nearby herd of swine. Though the account of this miracle in Matthew 8:28 refers to the “country of the Gergesenes” (KJB), it is most likely that Matthew used the reference to Gergesa as a regional identifier rather than a specific location. See Gadara, Gadarenes; Gerasa, Gerasenes.
