{They come to Jesus} (erchontai pros ton I(8873)oun). Vivid
present. To Jesus as the cause of it all, "to meet Jesus" (eis
hupant(8873)in I(8873)ou,  Mt 8:34 ). {And behold} (	he(9372)ousin).
Present tense again. {And they were afraid} (kai ephob(8874)h(8873)an).
They became afraid. Mark drops back to the ingressive aorist
tense (passive voice). They had all been afraid of the man, but
there he was "sitting clothed and in his right mind,"
(kath(886d)enon himatismenon kai s(9370)hronounta. Note the
participles). "At the feet of Jesus," Luke adds ( Lu 8:35 ). For
a long time he had worn no clothes ( Lu 8:17 ). Here was the
healing of the wild man and the destruction of the hogs all by
this same Jesus.
