The biblical city of Gerasa is know today as Jerash, in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Gerasa was one of the cities of the Roman Decapolis—in the New Testament period, northern Jordan—and is one of its best-preserved cities. Gerasa is mentioned in the Gospels as “the region of the Gerasenes.” (Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26)
Jesus taught and performed miracles in the Decapolis. Many people followed Jesus in the early days of His ministry, including multitudes from the Decapolis. (Matthew 4:25; Mark 5:20)
