And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.
