²⁸ When Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the ·area [region; territory] of the Gadarene^[a] people [^Cfrom Gadara, an area southeast of Lake Galilee; the exact location is uncertain], two ·men who had demons in them [demon-possessed men; demoniacs] came out of the ·burial caves [tombs] and met him. These men were so ·dangerous [violent; fierce] that people could not ·use the road by those caves [^Lpass that way].
