¹⁸ And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

³⁸ But the man from whom the evil spirits had gone out had a great desire to be with him, but he sent him away, saying,

³⁹ Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

¹² What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

⁷ And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

¹⁷ And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

¹⁶ And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.

¹⁷ And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

⁴² And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

⁴³ And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

²³ I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

²⁴ Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
