When Jesus saw large crowds around Him, He gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.

Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him while He was by the sea.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Again He began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around Him. So He got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was on the shore facing the sea.

Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, working side by side for the faith that comes from the gospel,
