Mark 5:1–20 tells the unforgettable story of the man possessed by Legion, living among the tombs where no chains could hold him.

In Mark 4:21–23, Jesus says the kingdom is like a lamp already burning — not meant to be hidden, but set out to shine. This short parable shows the presence of the kingdom now, the calling of God’s people to let it shine, and the principle that God’s truth will not stay buried.

In Mark 4:21–34, Jesus gives a cluster of parables — the lamp, the measure, the growing seed, and the mustard seed. At first they seem like scattered sayings, but together they reveal a pattern: from how we hear the Word, to how the kingdom grows, to its surprising destiny.
