New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 5
¹⁴ Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.
¹⁷ And they began to implore Him to leave their region.
¹⁸ As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.
¹⁹ 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."
²⁰ And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.
²¹ 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.
²² One of the synagogue officials named Jairus *came up, and on seeing Him, *fell at His feet
²³ and *implored Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live."
²⁴ And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.
