“Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.”
And the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus's feet, dressed and in his mind; and they were afraid — the transformation of the man is complete and visible: sitting (calm), at Jesus' feet (in the disciple's posture), dressed (restored to human dignity), in his right mind (sanity returned). They were afraid: the fear is the theophanic response — the presence of divine power producing terror.
