15When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
17And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
19But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
20So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
