Context of Luke 8:35

33So the bad spirits came out of the man and they went into the pigs. All the pigs rushed together down the hill into the lake. They all died there in the water. 34The men who were taking care of the pigs saw this happen. They ran away. They told the people in the town and in the villages what had happened. So the people went out from these places to see what had happened. They came to Jesus. The man that the bad spirits had come out of was sitting there, beside Jesus' feet. Now he was wearing clothes and his mind was well again. When the people saw this, they were afraid. 36Some people had seen Jesus make the man well. They told the other people how he had done this. 37Then all the Gerasene people who lived in that place said to Jesus, ‘Please go away and leave us.’ They said this because they were very afraid. So Jesus got back into the boat to leave that place.
