7Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a large multitude from Galilee followed, and also from Judea, 8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard about everything that He was doing and came to Him. 9And He told His disciples to see that a boat would be ready for Him because of the masses, so that they would not crowd Him; 10for He had healed many, with the result that all those who had diseases pushed in around Him in order to touch Him. 11And whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” 12And He strongly warned them not to reveal who He was.
