Default A beautiful miracle of saving a mans life

The Gentiles wanted Jesus to leave.
Maybe they were afraid of his supernatural power.
They may have also feared that Jesus would continue destroying their pigs.
They would rather give up Jesus than lose their source of income and security.

The one lesson--- We don't understand with our mind we understand and accept him with our heart.

That Jehovah and Christ have the power, and the desire, to help mankind. When the cleansed man had wanted to go with Jesus, Jesus said to him, "Go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things that Jehovah has done for you and the mercy he had on you." -Mark 5:18, 19
