“And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.”

“They began to beg him to depart from their region.”
“And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.”
“And they made a request to him to go out of their country.”
“And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.”
Now the herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
They came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind– the one who had the“Legion”– and they were afraid.
Those who had seen what had happened to the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told about the pigs.
Then they began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with him.
But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him,“Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.”
So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed.
