Context of Mark 5:19

17And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone. 18As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” 20So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them. 21Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.
