Mark 5:18-20
5:18 a Unlike his neighbors (5:17 b), the man experienced God’s grace and wanted to go with him (literally to be with him; see 3:14 c).Summary for Mark 5:19-20: 5:19-20 d Jesus’ mission for the man was to tell others the great things the Lord had done for him. Mark thus identifies Jesus as the Lord.
• tell them everything: Unlike other occasions, Jesus did not try to keep his identity secret (see 3:11-12 e), perhaps because it was less dangerous in this Gentile area.
• Ten Towns: See study note on Matt 4:24-25.
