"And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded"Leaped on them, and mastered both of them" At times those possessed by demons could manifest superhuman strength (Mark 5:3). "Both" NASV has "all of them". "Both is from the Greek amphoteroi, and may mean all of them" (Reese p. 680). "Naked and wounded" "Wounded, with their clothes torn off their backs" (Phi). The word "naked" may either mean that they lost all their clothes or they were simply stripped of their outer garments in the struggle.
