A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

Mark 3

⁷ _l Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and _m a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea ⁸ and Jerusalem and _n Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around _o Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him. ⁹ And he told his disciples to _p have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they _q crush him, ¹⁰ for _r he had healed many, so that all who had _s diseases pressed around him _t to touch him. ¹¹ _u And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they _v fell down before him and cried out, "You are _w the Son of God." ¹² And _x he strictly ordered them not to make him known.
