5:14
Those tending the pigs were naturally rather perturbed by what had happened. They went into the town and described what had just happened. The people from the town then came out to see Jesus. We then see two very different things, the effect of all this on the previously demon possessed man, and the response of the people.
5:15
The man was now dressed and was in his right-mind. His dignity had been restored. This is what Jesus does for people. When we repent and turn to Christ He restores our dignity. Rebelling against God leads to us losing our dignity, as an example look at the effects of various sorts of sexual sin, or drunkenness, or drugs. God created us as the pinnacle of His creation, and when we are restored by Him our dignity is restored. The people were afraid, for something that was not explicable had happened.
