Mark:3:7-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples ;
and a great crowd of people from Galilee followed .
*
From Judea ,
too ,
and Jerusalem ,
and Idumea ,
and from beyond Jordan ,
and from the district of Tyre and Sidon ,
they came to him a vast multitude ,
because they heard what he was doing .
*
So he directed his disciples to keep a little boat in readiness for him ,
because of the crowd ,
to prevent their crushing him .
*
For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him .
*
And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him ,
they threw themselves down at his feet ,
screaming out , "
You are the Son of God ."
*
But over and over ,
he strictly forbade them to make him known .
