Luke 8:37-39 As a result, the whole fullness (= the entire populace) of the territory (or: region) surrounding Gerasenes other MSS: Gergesenes asked Him to go (or: get) away from them – because they began being constrained and hemmed in with a joint-possession, pressing them together by and in a great fear.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁷ As a result, the whole fullness (= the entire populace) of the territory (or: region) surrounding Gerasenes [other MSS: Gergesenes] asked Him to go (or: get) away from them – because they began being constrained and hemmed in with a joint-possession, pressing them together by and in a great fear. ³⁸ So He Himself, upon stepping into [the] sailing vessel, turned away. But the adult man – from whom the demons (Hellenistic concept and term: = animistic influences) had gone out – began begging and kept on asking to continue being together with Him. Yet He dismissed him (loosed him away), while saying, ³⁹ "Proceed returning unto your house (or: into your household), and then make it a habit to fully relate and describe as many things as God did to, in and for you." And so he went off, down through the whole town, repeatedly making a public proclamation – as a herald – of as many things as Jesus did to, in and for him.
