Context of Mark 5:18

16Those who saw this told what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs. 17Then the people began to beg Jesus to leave their territory. As Jesus stepped into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him, “Let me stay with you.” 19But Jesus would not allow it. Instead, he told the man, “Go home to your family, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been to you.” 20So the man left. He began to tell how much Jesus had done for him in the Ten Cities. Everyone was amazed.
