14
Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15
They came to Jesus, and saw him who was possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16
Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17
They began to beg him to depart from their borders.
18
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19
He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them how the Lord has done great things for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23
and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
