Context of Mark 5:15
13And Jesus [immediately] allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea. 14And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place. And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting [and] clothed and sensible, [him] that had had the legion: and they were afraid. 16And they that had seen [it] related to them how it had happened to the [man] possessed by demons, and concerning the swine. 17And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.
