NASB
"As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him."
— Mark 5:18, NASB
“And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.”
“As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.”
“As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with him.”
“And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.”
“And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.”
“And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.”
They *came to Jesus and *observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the "legion"; and they became frightened.
Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.
And they began to implore Him to leave their region.
As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.
And He did not let him, but He *said to him, "Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you."
And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore.
