What does Luke 8:38-39 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The man begged Jesus to allow him to follow Him. His desire was admirable, but Jesus ordered this disciple to remain where he was as a witness to Jesus" person and power at least temporarily. The man responded as an obedient disciple and spread the gospel in this previously unreached Gentile area. Luke probably intended the reader to identify what Jesus had done with what God had done ( Luke 8:39). The man more than obeyed Jesus. He Isaiah , therefore, a good model for Gentile converts to emulate.

"The story is a paradigm of what conversion involves: the responsibility to evangelize." ^[1]
