7. Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea,
8. and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him.
9. 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 healed many, with the result that all those who had afflictions pressed around Him in order to touch Him.
