¹⁷ Then they began to beg Jesus^[a] to leave their neighborhood.^{(A) 18} As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him. ¹⁹ But Jesus^[b] refused and said to him, “Go home to your own people, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and what mercy he has shown you.”
