^7 (A)And Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and ^(B)a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from ^(C)Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of ^(D)Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him. ^9 (E)And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him; ¹⁰ for He had ^(F)healed many, with the result that all those who had ^(G)afflictions pressed around Him in order to ^(H)touch Him. ¹¹ And whenever the unclean spirits were seeing Him, they would fall down before Him and cry out, saying, “You are ^(I)the Son of God!” ¹² And He ^(J)earnestly warned them not to ^[a]tell who He was.

¹⁵ But Jesus, ^[a]aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and ^(A)He healed them all, ¹⁶ and ^(B)warned them not to make Him known,

¹⁷ And Jesus ^(A)came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was ^(B)a large crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of ^(C)Tyre and Sidon, ¹⁸ who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. ¹⁹ And all the crowd was trying to ^(D)touch Him, for ^(E)power was coming from Him and healing them all.
