And wherever he went, in villages, or cities, or country places, they placed the sick in the markets, and besought him that they might touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as touched him were cured.

And going out he spread and published abroad the report, to such an extent that he [Jesus] could no longer go openly into a city, but was without in solitary places; and they came to him from every quarter.

And many came together immediately, so that there was no room, not even in the places about the door; and he spoke to them the word.

And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy,

and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
