The story of Jesus casting out an evil spirit from a man in Gadara is a miracle which is the first step in evangelizing non-Jewish people. However, many people doubt the truth of this story. In this study, we use qualitative methods and a comparative approach with medical science to understand the terms "possessed" and "possessed". In psychology, the two terms are considered as a spectrum of mental disorders that have much in common. Possessed people often have extraordinary strength and experience severe inner struggles. The patient's recovery is carried out through exorcism or sudden release, without medical action. Through the story of Jesus casting out demons, we learn that the power of demons cannot be overcome by human strength alone. However, with faith and trust in God, we can ask His help to escape the influence. However, with faith and trust in God, we can ask His help to escape Satan's influence. Jesus is the source of deliverance and hope for all of us in the face of the forces of darkness.Abstrak: Kisah Yesus mengusir roh jahat dari seorang pria di Gadara adalah sebuah mukjizat yang menjadi langkah awal penginjilan bagi orang di luar Yahudi. Namun, banyak orang meragukan kebenaran kisah ini. Dalam penelitian ini, kami menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan pembandingan dengan ilmu kedokteran untuk memahami istilah "kerasukan" dan "kesurupan". Dalam ilmu psikologi, kedua istilah tersebut dianggap sebagai spektrum gangguan jiwa yang memiliki banyak kesamaan. Orang yang kerasukan seringkali memiliki kekuatan yang luar biasa dan mengalami pergumulan batin yang berat. Kesembuhan penderita dilakukan melalui eksorsisme atau pelepasan yang mendadak, tanpa tindakan medis. Melalui kisah Yesus mengusir setan, kita belajar bahwa kekuatan setan tidak bisa diatasi dengan kekuatan manusia semata. Namun, dengan iman dan kepercayaan kepada Tuhan, kita dapat memohon pertolongan-Nya untuk melepaskan diri dari pengaruh. Namun, dengan iman dan kepercayaan kepada Tuhan, kita dapat memohon pertolongan-Nya untuk melepaskan diri dari pengaruh setan. Yesus adalah sumber kelepasan dan pengharapan bagi kita semua dalam menghadapi kekuatan kegelapan.
