Mark 5:19

Mark 5:19

17 Then ^athey began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

18 And when He got into the boat, ^ahe who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.

19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”

20 And he departed and began to ^aproclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all ^bmarveled.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

21 ^aNow when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

22 ^aAnd behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

<< Mark 5:18

Mark 5:20 >>

Suffered him not - ̔ , Howbeit Jesus, is omitted by ABKLM, twenty-seven others, both the Syriac, both the Persic, Coptic, Gothic, Vulgate, and one of the Itala. Mill and Bengel approve of the omission, and Griesbach leaves it out of the text.

Go home to thy friends, etc. - This was the cause why Jesus would not permit him to follow him now, because he would not have the happiness of his relatives deferred, who must exceedingly rejoice at seeing the wonders which the Lord had wrought.
