Key Information

Gergesa, also Gergasa (Γέργεσα in Byzantine greek) or the Country of the Gergesenes, is a place on the eastern (Golan Heights) side of the Sea of Galilee located at some distance to the ancient Decapolis cities of Gadara and Gerasa. Today, it is identified with El-Koursi or Kursi. It is mentioned in some ancient manuscripts of the Gospel of Matthew as the place where the Miracle of the Swine took place, a miracle performed by Jesus who drove demons out of a possessed man into a herd of pigs. All three Synoptic Gospels mention this miracle, Matthew writes about two possessed men instead of just one, and only some manuscripts of his Gospel name the location as Gergesa, while the other copies, as well as all versions of Luke and Mark, mention either Gadara or Gerasa (see Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39, Matthew 8:28-34). The "Gerasa" reading is problematic, because Gerasa is neither near a sea nor does it border Galilee.[1]

Some[who?] are of the opinion that Gergesa was the country of the ancient Girgashites; but it is more probable that 'Gergesenes' was introduced by Origen upon mere conjecture; as before him most copies seem to have read 'Gadarenes', agreeable to the parallel passages and the ancient Syriac version. In any event, the "country of the Gergesenes/Gadarenes/Gerasenes" in the New Testament Gospels refers to some location on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. The name is derived from either a lakeside village, Gergesa, the next larger city, Gadara, or the best-known city in the region, Gerasa. It is likely that the "Gerasa" reading is erroneous and a copyist error for "Gergesa," since only the latter place is bordering a lake while Gerasa is very far away from a lake.[2]

Interpretations

[edit]

Gergesenes means "those who come from pilgrimage or fight."[3]

Many New Testament manuscripts refer to the "Country of the Gadarenes" or "Gerasenes" rather than the Gergesenes. Both Gerasa and Gadara were cities to the east of the Sea of Galilee and the River Jordan. They were both Gentile cities filled with citizens who were culturally more Greek than Semitic; this would account for the pigs in the biblical account. Gerasa and Gadara are accounted for in historical accounts (by writers such as Pliny the Elder and Josephus) and by archaeological research. Today they are the modern towns of Jerash and Umm Qais.

A third city, Hippos, was similar in character to Gadara and Gerasa, and it may fit the biblical account even better. It was located on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, whereas Gerasa and Gadara were several kilometers south-east of it. Hippos, Gerasa, and Gadara were all counted in the Decapolis, an informal grouping of Greco-Roman cities just south of the ancient city of Caesarea Philippi.

Identification with Kursi

[edit]

Byzantine monks venerated a site a few kilometres north of Hippos on the lakeshore as the miracle's location. It is the only place fitting Matthew's description, since it contains the only "steep bank" in the area descending to the shore of the lake. The site became known since at least the Early Muslim period as Kursya,[4] the Aramaic word for "chair", and later as Kursi, a word with the same meaning in Arabic,[5] The monks built a walled monastic complex there and made it a destination for Christian pilgrims. That monastery was destroyed by the Sasanian military in 614, partially rebuilt, and finally levelled by the 749 Galilee earthquake. The remains of the monastery can be visited in the Kursi National Park. Christian artifacts from Kursi can be viewed at the Golan Archaeological Museum.

Gergesa, also known as Gergesa or the country of the Gergesenes, is an ancient locality situated on the eastern shore of the in the region of modern-day . It is prominently featured in the Gospels as the setting for the miracle of the Gadarene (or Gerasene) demoniacs, where exorcised a legion of demons from a possessed man—or two men, according to Matthew—who then entered a herd of swine that rushed down a steep bank into the sea and drowned. The accounts vary slightly across the : Matthew 8:28–34 refers to the "country of the Gadarenes," while Mark 5:1–20 and Luke 8:26–39 describe it as the "country of the Gerasenes," with some ancient manuscripts specifying "Gergesenes" to pinpoint the locale more precisely near the lakeshore. The site is widely identified with the archaeological remains at Kursi, located approximately 6 kilometers north of , featuring a prominent complex constructed in the mid-5th century CE to memorialize the biblical event. This , which includes a large basilical church with floors depicting motifs such as baskets and (possibly alluding to ' nearby miracle of feeding the multitudes in ), a smaller on a hillside , an press, and defensive towers, remained active until its destruction during the Persian invasion of 614 CE and abandonment by the 8th or . Excavations initiated in 1971–1974, with further work in 2001 and later, have uncovered additional structures, including a Roman-Byzantine bathhouse complex with heated pools () and cooling areas () dating to the CE, linked to a pilgrims' hostel, as well as a communal tomb behind the church containing remains of dozens of individuals from the late 6th to early 7th centuries, suggestive of activity or a tragic event like an . Early Christian traditions, attested by writers such as in the CE and in the , supported Gergesa's identification due to its steep terrain fitting description of the swine's descent into the water, distinguishing it from more distant sites like Gerasa (modern , 37 miles away) or (about 6 miles inland). Today, Kursi is preserved as a by the Nature and Parks Authority, highlighting its enduring role in and , though no definitive 1st-century CE remains directly tied to narrative have been found, underscoring the site's primarily commemorative Byzantine significance.

Biblical Account

The Miracle in Matthew

In the Gospel of Matthew, the miracle involving the demon-possessed men occurs in the country of the Gadarenes, where arrives by boat after crossing the from the region near Capernaum. Upon landing, he encounters two demon-possessed men emerging from tombs along the shoreline, described as exceedingly fierce and violent, to the point that no one could safely pass by that route. These men, dwelling among the tombs in this desolate area near the sea, recognize ' divine authority and cry out, addressing him as the and questioning whether he has come to torment them before the appointed time. The demons, speaking through the men, plead with Jesus not to be immediately destroyed but to allow them to enter a nearby herd of pigs feeding at a distance. Jesus grants their request with a simple command, "Go," prompting the demons to depart from the men and possess the swine. The entire herd then rushes violently down the steep bank into the sea and drowns, an event paralleling the parallel accounts in Mark and Luke, where the herd is specified as numbering about two thousand. This dramatic expulsion restores the two men to sanity, highlighting Jesus' power over unclean spirits in a region marked by ritual impurity due to the tombs and the Gentile pig farming. The herdsmen, witnessing the destruction of the pigs, flee to the city to report both the deliverance of the demoniacs and the loss of the . In response, the entire town comes out to meet but, upon seeing him, begs him urgently to depart from their region, prioritizing their economic concerns over the miracle's significance. Matthew's account uniquely features two men rather than the single described in Mark 5:1-20 and Luke 8:26-39, possibly emphasizing the event's broader communal impact in this territory.

The Miracle in Mark and Luke

In the Gospel of Mark, the account begins with Jesus and his disciples arriving by boat in the country of the Gerasenes after crossing the . Upon stepping ashore, Jesus immediately encounters a man possessed by an who lived among the tombs, isolated from society due to his violent behavior. This man exhibited superhuman strength, having repeatedly broken chains and shackles that others used to restrain him, and he spent his nights and days crying out while cutting himself with stones. Seeing from a distance, the man ran to him and fell at his feet, while the possessing spirit—revealing itself as "Legion, for we are many"—cried out, identifying as the "Son of the Most High " and begging not to be tormented. The demons pleaded to remain in the region rather than being sent away, requesting instead to enter a nearby herd of about two thousand pigs feeding on the hillside; permitted this, and the pigs subsequently rushed down a steep bank into the sea and drowned. The herdsmen fled to report the event in the city and surrounding countryside, prompting people to come and witness the transformed man, now clothed and in his right mind, sitting calmly with , which filled the onlookers with fear. Overwhelmed, the locals begged to leave their , and as he prepared to depart by , the healed man implored to accompany him but was instead instructed to return home and tell his friends how much the Lord had done for him and shown him mercy. The man obeyed, traveling through the and proclaiming what had done for him, causing marvel among the people. This narrative, spanning Mark 5:1-20, emphasizes the single possessed individual and the regional scope of the demons' request. The parallel account in Luke closely mirrors Mark's details, with Jesus sailing to the country of the Gerasenes—described as opposite —and meeting a demon-possessed man from the city who had long lived unclothed among . Like in Mark, the man fell at ' feet upon seeing him, and the many demons within him—also named "Legion"—identified as the "Son of the Most High " while begging not to be tormented or commanded into . The man had been kept under guard with chains and shackles due to his seizures by the demons, which drove him into desolate places, but he always broke free. Upon ' command, the demons entered a large herd of pigs on the hillside, which then rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. In Luke's version, the herdsmen reported the incident, leading people from the city and countryside to arrive and find the healed man clothed, in his right mind, and sitting at ' feet, again evoking great fear among the witnesses. The surrounding Gerasenes pleaded with to depart, and though the restored man sought to follow him, directed him to return home and declare what God had done for him. The man complied, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much had done for him. This account, found in :26-39, shares Mark's focus on a single man and includes the unique detail of the man's self-harm through exposure and wandering, reinforcing the demons' recognition of ' divine authority. Unlike Matthew's parallel, which mentions two demon-possessed men in the region of the Gadarenes, both Mark and center on one individual possessed by demons identified as "Legion."

Geographical Identification

Discrepancies in Gospel Names

The Synoptic Gospels present notable discrepancies in the naming of the region associated with the miracle of the demoniacs, reflecting textual variations evident in ancient manuscripts. In Matthew 8:28, the predominant reading is "Gadarenes," referring to the territory of Gadara, a city in the Decapolis region east of the Jordan River. However, some manuscripts, including certain uncial and minuscules influenced by later corrections, substitute "Gergesenes" for "Gadarenes," suggesting an effort to align the text with a location closer to the Sea of Galilee. In contrast, Mark 5:1 and Luke 8:26 consistently employ "Gerasenes" in the majority of Greek manuscripts, linking the event to Gerasa (modern ), a prominent Hellenistic city in the approximately 30-40 miles southeast of the . This designation poses a geographical challenge, as Gerasa lies far inland and distant from the lake into which the swine reportedly rushed, rendering it implausible for the narrative's setting near the shore. Early Christian scholar Origen, writing in the third century, addressed this inconsistency in his Commentary on John (Book VI, Chapter 24), proposing "Gergesa" as the correct reading based on a rare manuscript tradition and the site's proximity to the lake. He argued that Gergesa, a small village on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, better fit the topographical details of the miracle, such as the steep hillside, and suggested that scribal errors had corrupted the original text into the more familiar but distant "Gerasa." Analysis of key textual variants underscores these discrepancies. For instance, the fourth-century supports "Gerasenes" in both Mark 5:1 and Luke 8:26, aligning with the . Meanwhile, some manuscripts, including certain Greek witnesses, favor "Gergesenes" in Mark 5:1, while others read "Gadarenes" or "Gerasenes" in the parallels from Matthew and Luke, indicating textual variations and possible harmonizations. The name "Gergesa" may derive from Hebrew roots, possibly linked to "Gergashi" (גִּרְגָּשִׁי), denoting a Canaanite tribe mentioned in Genesis 10:16 and Deuteronomy 7:1, whose name etymologically suggests "clay dwellers" from the term for red clay soil (גַּרְגֵּשׁ). This could reflect local tied to the region's rather than the tribal identity itself. Early offered varied interpretations to reconcile these names. , in his Onomasticon (c. 325 CE), identifies Gergesa as a village near where the swine miracle occurred, placing it in the territory encompassing and other cities, thus bridging the Gadarenes and Gerasenes traditions without resolving the variants definitively.

Proposed Sites and Scholarly Debates

Scholars have long debated the precise location of Gergesa, the site associated with the biblical event in the region of the Gerasenes, due to variations in ancient geographical references and the need to reconcile textual descriptions with physical topography. One prominent candidate, Gerasa (modern in ), was part of the league but lies approximately 35-37 miles southeast of the , making it untenable for the described events involving proximity to the lake's shore. This distance, far exceeding practical limits for the narrative's details such as the swine's rush into the water, has led to its widespread dismissal among researchers, who note that Gerasa's territory did not extend to the lake. Another proposed site is (modern ), situated about 5-6 miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee's southern end. Favored by some scholars for its alignment with Matthew's reference to the "country of the Gadarenes," served as an administrative center whose territory, according to the historian , extended to the lake's eastern shore, potentially encompassing coastal areas. This control allowed to oversee multiple locales within the , influencing regional naming conventions and political affiliations that blurred boundaries in ancient accounts. Gergesa itself is posited as a distinct small village near the eastern shore of the , likely within Gadara's territorial influence. Early Christian scholar advocated for this identification in the third century, arguing it better fit the landscape's steep banks compared to more distant cities. This view gained traction in the through explorers like William M. Thomson, who, in his travels documented in The Land and the Book, identified Gergesa with the site of Kerseh (or Chersa) along the shoreline, emphasizing its suitability based on on-site observations of the terrain. Alternative candidates, such as sites near the outlets of es-Samak or lesser-known ruins, have been suggested but lack robust archaeological or textual support, often dismissed for insufficient alignment with historical descriptions. By the , scholarly consensus increasingly favored a shoreline for Gergesa, prioritizing sites with steep directly adjacent to the Sea of to match the event's geographical cues, as reflected in analyses balancing ancient sources with modern mapping. The Decapolis's administrative dynamics, with cities like exerting influence over surrounding villages, further explain the interchangeable naming in variants without necessitating a single urban center.

Archaeological and Historical Evidence

The Site of Kursi

The site of Kursi, also known as El-Kursi, is situated on the eastern shore of the in northern , precisely at the mouth of Wadi Samak (Nahal Samakh), where a steep slope descends directly to the water's edge. This dramatic , characterized by volcanic black terrain riddled with natural caves and rock-cut , aligns closely with descriptions of the in the biblical account of the swine rushing into the sea. The area's rugged, hilly environment, part of the foothills, provided a secluded setting with evidence of ancient habitation in nearby grottoes suitable for the narrative's figure. Historically, Kursi formed part of the , a league of Hellenistic cities, and fell under the administrative influence of , located about 10 kilometers southeast across the Yarmuk Valley. The site shows continuous occupation from the through the Byzantine era, with significant development as a monastic center in the 5th century CE, reflecting Greco-Roman and early Christian cultural layers in the region. Archaeological surveys indicate activity from at least the 3rd century BCE, tied to the broader network of trade and settlement around the . Prominent features of the site include extensive ruins constructed primarily from local black stone, encompassing a large 5th-century church measuring 45 by 25 meters, an adjacent complex, and an industrial area with a possible press installation. The , the largest known Byzantine example in at 145 by 123 meters, features reconstructed elements such as a , residential quarters, and a defensive tower, all set within the modern Kursi established in 1982 to preserve the site's integrity. Kursi lies approximately 5-6 miles (8-10 km) across the Sea of Galilee from Capernaum on the northwestern shore, a distance consistent with the Gospel descriptions of a short boat crossing to the eastern side. This proximity underscores its role as a plausible landing point in the regional geography of 1st-century Galilee. Local has identified Kursi with ancient Gergesa since the Byzantine period, with references in ' 4th-century Onomasticon linking the name to the biblical site. Pilgrims began visiting the area from the early 4th century onward, drawn by its association with the miracle narrative, leading to the construction of commemorative structures that solidified its sacred status through the Byzantine era.

Excavations and Artifacts

Archaeological work at Kursi commenced in when road construction exposed ancient walls, prompting initial surveys and excavations by the Israel Department of Antiquities under Vassilios Tzaferis. These efforts, continuing through 1971–1977 in collaboration with local teams including members from Ginosar, systematically uncovered the core structures of a large Byzantine complex dating to the 5th–6th centuries CE. The site's , a prominent feature, measures 45 by 25 meters and includes a prominent oriented eastward, along with well-preserved floors depicting geometric motifs, , such as birds and fish, and Nilotic scenes symbolizing abundance. Key artifacts recovered during these digs include Byzantine-era oil lamps, pottery vessels like bowls and cooking pots, and coins minted between the 4th and 7th centuries CE, providing chronological evidence for the site's occupation and use. Engraved from associated , dated to the 6th century CE. While no inscriptions directly referencing swine have been confirmed, graffiti and dedicatory texts within the structures, including a Greek inscription in the 6th-century dated 582–587 CE, indicate pilgrimage activity linked to the site's biblical associations. The complex encompasses monastic cells, a for communal meals, and a two-story tower adjacent to the atrium, suggesting a self-sufficient monastic . Evidence of is further supported by the discovery of a Roman-Byzantine bathhouse (approximately 100 square meters) with heated pools, a , and , likely serving visitors alongside a nearby ; this facility, dated to the late 6th–early 7th centuries CE, represents the first such installation identified in a Palestinian . Defensive elements include enclosing walls up to 2 meters thick and gates, pointing to enhancements after the CE, possibly in response to regional insecurities. Later excavations from 2001–2003, again directed by Tzaferis in partnership with Charles Page of the Center for , explored underground passages, , and additional bathhouse components, yielding further pottery, glass beads, and weapons like Persian swords and spear points attributable to the 614 CE Sasanian that likely destroyed the site. A communal behind the church contained remains of dozens of individuals from the late 6th to early 7th centuries CE, possibly indicating activity or an . A minor dig in at the adjacent harbor uncovered a 5th–6th-century slab with a Hebrew/ inscription. Since , the site has been conserved as part of Israel's national parks system, with restoration focusing on the and mosaics; it was formally opened to the public in , and limited ongoing work continues to protect and study the remains.

Theological and Cultural Significance

Interpretations in Early Christianity

In his Commentary on Matthew (c. 230 AD), advocated for the manuscript reading "Gergesa" rather than "Gerasa" for the location of the , noting that Gerasa was too distant from the to align with the narrative of the swine rushing into the lake, whereas Gergesa featured steep banks nearby suitable for the event; he also connected the site's name to the biblical Gergesites, viewing the as fulfilling prophetic themes of divine outreach to the Gentiles. Eusebius of Caesarea, in his Onomasticon (c. 325 AD), identified Gergesa with the Gadarenes region, describing it as a village on the mountains near Lake Tiberias where the healed the demoniacs and the swine were cast down, thereby linking the site to the accounts while resolving geographical discrepancies through local tradition. Byzantine pilgrim accounts from the late 4th century reference travels to sites around the associated with miracles, reflecting early Christian veneration of locations tied to Christ's exorcistic power. Early Christian theologians emphasized the miracle's symbolism of Gentile inclusion into salvation, interpreting the unclean swine as emblematic of pagan impurity and the demons' expulsion as prefiguring Christ's ultimate victory over demonic forces and idolatry in non-Jewish territories. This event entered liturgical development through commemorations in church calendars, with the 5th-6th century church at Kursi constructed as a martyrium to honor the miracle, serving as a pilgrimage center for reflection on exorcism and divine authority.

Modern Relevance and Commemoration

In the 20th century, the identification of Gergesa with the site of Kursi gained renewed scholarly attention following archaeological work initiated after the 1967 Six-Day War, with major excavations from 1971 to 1974 confirming a significant Byzantine monastic complex that supported its association with the Gospel narratives; this revival has shaped contemporary Bible atlases and commentaries, such as those emphasizing geographical precision in the Synoptic accounts. In 2015, excavations at nearby Kursi Beach uncovered a Hebrew inscription suggesting an ancient Jewish synagogue, highlighting the site's pre-Byzantine Jewish history. Kursi National Park, encompassing the ancient site, has become a prominent destination for Christian tourism along the eastern shore of the , attracting pilgrims who visit to reflect on the biblical miracle of the swine through guided interpretive tours that highlight the site's historical and spiritual layers. The park's management by the and Parks Authority facilitates educational visits, including seasonal programs that draw thousands annually to explore the ruins amid the natural landscape. The site's location in the places it near Jewish settlements like Kibbutz Ein Gev, close to the Jordanian border. In popular media, the Gergesa narrative features in the 1977 miniseries Jesus of Nazareth, directed by , where the exorcism miracle is dramatized against the backdrop, contributing to broader cultural interest in stories; it also appears in archaeological literature, such as works documenting Byzantine-era sites in northern . Theologically, the Gergesa episode informs modern seminary curricula on harmonizing variants—comparing Matthew's "Gadarenes," Mark's "Gerasenes," and Luke's "Gerasenes"—while providing contextual insights into first-century and ' ministry in territories. Preservation efforts at Kursi are compounded by geopolitical sensitivities in the disputed that occasionally restrict access and maintenance. As of November 2025, fluctuating water levels in the have reached critically low points, posing potential environmental risks to nearby archaeological sites.
