The people of Gadara asked Jesus to leave their neighbourhood because
he had healed the two demoniacs
as Gentiles, they had nothing to do with Jesus , a Jew
Jesus was using the power of Beelzebul
they suffered economic loss when their swine perished
Jesus might effect more cure in their vicinity
Explanation
This incident is recorded in Matthew 8: 28-34 and Mark 5: 1-20. After Jesus cast demons out of two men into a herd of swine, causing the swine to run into the sea and drown, the people of Gadara were upset over the economic loss and asked Jesus to leave their region.
