Mark 5:18-20

He that had been possessed, prayed that he might be with him To enjoy the further benefit of his instructions. Perhaps he feared lest, if Jesus left him, he should relapse into his former condition, the terrors of which he dreaded. Howbeit, Jesus suffered him not Judging it proper to leave him in that country as a witness of the power and goodness of his deliverer, and of the folly and wickedness of these Gadarenes, who rejected such a Saviour. Go home to thy friends To thy relations and neighbours; and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee This was peculiarly needful there, where Christ did not go in person. He began to publish in Decapolis, &c. Not only at home, but in all that country where Jesus himself did not come.
