Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him. And from Judea,

Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan River, and around Tyre and Sidon a great multitude came to him when they heard about the things he had done.

Then he came down with them and stood on a level place. And a large number of his disciples had gathered along with a vast multitude from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,

he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from his wandering path will save that person's soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Above all keep your love for one another fervent, because love covers a multitude of sins.
