The man certainly would have benefitted from traveling with Jesus and learning from Him. The incident recorded here may be the first time Jesus leaves a prospective follower behind, not because he was unworthy, but because God has prepared a greater purpose for him. In Matthew 8:18–22, Jesus discourages a scribe and a casual disciple from following Him, telling them they will have to abandon both comforts and family. Jesus tells the rich young ruler to sell all his possessions as proof he values God more than wealth, and the man declines (Mark 10:17–22). Many others offer to follow Jesus but are rejected, for various reasons.
Peter follows Jesus after the healing of his mother-in-law (Mark 1:29–31). Some women whom Jesus had healed support Him when He comes through their towns, most notably Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:1–3).
GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS MERCY SKIN
In Luke 17:11–19, Jesus heals ten men with infectious skin diseases, and one returns to thank Him. This is not the only time a recipient of Jesus' kindness wishes to stay with Him. Mark 5:19, CSB: Jesus did not let him but told him, "Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you." Mark 5:19, NLT: But Jesus said, 'No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.'
Mark 5:19, NASB: And He did not let him, but He *said to him, 'Go home to your people and report to themwhat great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.' Mark 5:19, KJV: Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. Mark 5:19, ESV: And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
Mark 5:19 Parallel Verses Mark 5:19, NIV: Jesus did not let him, but said, 'Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.'
