A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

Mark 3

⁷ But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, _g and from Judea ⁸ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how _h many things He was doing, came to Him. ⁹ So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. ¹⁰ For He healed _i many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to _j touch Him. ¹¹ _k And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, _l "You are the Son of God." ¹² But _m He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.
