Mark 5:14-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened. ¹⁵ They *came to Jesus and *observed the man who had been ^(A)demon-possessed sitting down, ^(B)clothed and ^(C)in his right mind, the very man who had had the “^(D)legion”; and they became frightened. ¹⁶ Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the ^(E)demon-possessed man, and all about the swine. ¹⁷ And they began to ^(F)implore Him to leave their region. ^18 (G)As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been ^(H)demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might ^[a]accompany Him. ¹⁹ And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “^(I)Go home to your people and report to them ^[b]what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” ²⁰ And he went away and began to ^(J)proclaim in ^(K)Decapolis ^[c]what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
