Context of Mark 5:17

15And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 16And they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine. And they began to beseech him to depart out of their region. 18And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon begged him that he might be with him. 19However Jesus permitted him not, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
