Context of Mark 5:19
17And they began to beg Yeshua to leave their country. 18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been infested with demons kept begging to remain with Him. Yeshua did not let him, but He told him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much Adonai has done for you, how He showed you mercy.” 20So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Yeshua had done for him. And all were amazed. 21When Yeshua had crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a big crowd gathered around Him; and He was by the sea.
