Today’s question: “Why did the inhabitants of the Gadarene village ask Jesus to leave after he healed the demoniac?”

Amen, and again Amen.
And now I am intrigued by verse 20 – it looks as though the cleansed and healed Demoniac, obedient to and empowered by Jesus, was rejected in his own city, but welcomed in other cities?
(I realise that this is part-comment/part question!)
Thanks, Christine!
I suspect he was accepted in other cities because their social order wasn’t dependant upon his expulsion and possession. That was only the case in his own village.
