'Surrounding' in the Bible
Then Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and news about him spread throughout the surrounding countryside.
This report about Jesus circulated throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.
Then all the people of the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
Then Jesus asked, "Who was it who touched me?" When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!"
Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place."
