Ministering to the Multitude

⁷Jesus^(A) departed with his disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee,^(B) and a large crowd followed from Judea,^(C) ⁸Jerusalem,^(D) Idumea, beyond the Jordan,^(E) and around Tyre^(F) and Sidon.^(G) The large crowd came to him because they heard about everything he was doing. ⁹Then he told his disciples to have a small boat^(H) ready for him, so that the crowd wouldn’t crush him. ¹⁰Since he had healed^(I) many, all who had diseases were pressing toward him to touch^(J) him. ¹¹Whenever the unclean^(K) spirits^(L) saw him, they fell down^(M) before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” ^(N) ¹²And he would strongly warn^(O) them not to make him known.^(P)
