Why did the people ask Jesus to leave their region after they heard about the pigs?
in many places in the bible we read about the fac that even the closest to jesus at certain points show some hesitation , and that makes jesus wonder many times why their faith is so weak after seeing all that he has done, so naturally although many of the people were accepting him and believing in him, however mankind is always doubtfull of that which he doesnt understand, so seeing the control he had over the demons would surely make them fear him and his authority and power, wondering where he gets the power to rule over the demons, could it be the devil himself?mankind usually is prone to identify with evil more than what can conquere it.so it was easier for them to ask him to leave their regions rather than comprehend the consequences of what they saw.

Simple....fear of the unknown. Who is this man that possesses so much power? And if He can take the demons from a person, can He not also see the demons within me?

Aren`t we all afraid when we feel or see a change in ourselves or in others? It`s so easy just to leave legion screaming and hurting himself. Just like it`s easy to leave ourselves in our old habits. No matter how hard we try to tie up these habits, they always seem to get the best of us. When Jesus comes and heals and forgives, the people feel vulnerable, and naked without their impurities. So when they see Jesus they just send him away.

Jesus at Gadarenes
People residing at that region heard about the news and became very much frightened. They feared and expected some bad incidents in their region. They saw that many pigs were died. There is a chance of dying their cattles also. Another thing, they thought that Jesus healed the demon-possessed person through ruler of the demon. They feared that Jesus has demon in Him. We had already studied the same questions from the scribes in Mark Chapter-3. Hence the people requested Jesus to leave their region after they heard about the pigs.

The healing a demon possessed Man.
They people ask Jesus to leave their region that may be they were afraid that something more happened or losses of their belongings, like something happened to there pigs. In other way most of the people at the present time prefer to lose Jesus Christ in their lives rather than those temporal things that satisfies there earthly desire they love even their pigs more than their salvation.

The Healing of a Demon-possessed Man

They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. When he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains, because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him. Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him, and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me." For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
He asked him, "What is your name?"
He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many." He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding. All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea. Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
The people came to see what it was that had happened. They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid. Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs. They began to beg him to depart from their region.
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him. He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
