²⁴ And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, ^[a]possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. ²⁵ And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him: ² and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

⁷ And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judaea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing ^[a]what great things he did, came unto him. ⁹ And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him: ¹⁰ for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had ^[b]plagues ^[c]pressed upon him that they might touch him. ¹¹ And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. ¹² And he charged them much that they should not make him known.

¹³ And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him.

¹⁷ and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸ and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. ¹⁹ And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all.

²⁰ And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
