Mark 3:7-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ And Jesus retired with His disciples to the lake, and a great throng from Galilee followed Him. Also from Judea

⁸ And from Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon—a vast multitude, hearing all the many things that He was doing, came to Him.

⁹ And He told His disciples to have a little boat in [constant] readiness for Him because of the crowd, lest they press hard upon Him and crush Him.

¹⁰ For He had healed so many that all who had distressing bodily diseases kept falling upon Him and pressing upon Him in order that they might touch Him.

¹¹ And the spirits, the unclean ones, ^[a]as often as they might see Him, fell down before Him and kept screaming out, You are the Son of God!

¹² And He charged them strictly and severely under penalty again and again that they should not make Him known.
