And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. The entreaty, it will be observed, was made by one spirit, but in behalf of many - "he besought Him not to send them," etc.-just as in the former verse, "he answered we are many." But what do they mean by entreating so earnestly not to be ordered out of the country? Their next petition (Mark 5:12) will make that clear enough.
