7And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd from Galilee followed, and from Judea,

8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great crowd, hearing what he was doing, came to him.

9And he told his disciples that a small boat should stay ready for him because of the crowd, so that they might not crush him.

10For he had healed many, so that all who had afflictions were pressing in on him in order to touch him.

11And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, saying, “You are the Son of God.”

12And he sternly warned them many times not to make him known.
