Why did the people ask Jesus to leave, even after He delivered the two demon-possessed men?

Fear of the unknown scares most people. Therefore, after hearing of Jesus' casting out of demons, community members probably got together and all fuelled each other's fear of the unknown powers of the Son of God. Seeming too foreign and mysterious, it was easier to bury their head in the sand by asking him to leave their territory

How is Jesus` teaching like fresh wine requiring fresh wineskins?

I view Jesus comments in this particular verses as,Jesus speaking in terms of He being the New Covanent( new wine-His Blood) and us as the new wineskins, or the vessels that will be used to carry the message of of His teachings to the world.

Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple?

Jesus specified the reasons for His coming, i.e He came to heal the sick in spirit. He came to show mercy to those that were down trodden by society, the lowly people.He came to forgive and cleanse us of our sins. Most importantly in John 6:65 He said " For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father." Therefore one can assume that Matthew was already chosen to be a disciple of Jesus, even before he embarked on a career in tax collection.
