Mark Study Notes—Chapter 5

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 5:11
  
  swine: Pigs were unclean according to the Law (Le 11:7), but there was a market for pork among the many non-Jews living in the Decapolis region; both Greeks and Romans considered pork a delicacy. The account does not state whether the herders were Jews who were violating the Law.—Mr 5:14.
