Matthew 2:12

2:12 After being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, ¹  they went back by another route to their own country.

Matthew 4:16

4:16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,

and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned.” ² 

Matthew 8:28

Healing the Gadarene Demoniacs

8:28 When he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, ³  two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were extremely violent, so that no one was able to pass by that way.

¹ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1.

² sn A quotation from Isa 9:1.

³ tc The textual tradition here is quite complicated. A number of mss (B C [Δ] Θ al sy^s,p,h) read “Gadarenes,” which is the better reading here. Many other mss (א² L W Ë^1,13 Ï [sy^hmg] bo) have “Gergesenes.” Others (892^c latt sy^hmg sa mae) have “Gerasenes,” which is the reading followed in Luke 8:26. The difference between Matthew and Luke may be due to uses of variant regional terms.
