Mark 3:7-12 - Jesus Heals Crowds By The Sea

⁷ But Jesus retired with his disciples towards the sea: where a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea, ⁸ from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and the territory about Jordan, a considerable number of the inhabitants about Tyre and Sidon having heard of his great actions, came likewise to meet him. ⁹ wherefore, to avoid the inconveniences of the crowd, he order'd his disciples to get a small vessel ready to attend him. ¹⁰ for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him. ¹¹ and when the impure spirits saw him, they threw themselves at his feet, crying out, "thou art the son of God." ¹² but he strictly charged them, not to make him known.
