SCRIPTURE

"and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was." — Mark 6:55 (ASV)

Ran about (περιεδραμον). Vivid constative aorist picturing the excited pursuit of Jesus as the news spread that he was in Gennesaret.

On their beds (επ τοις κραβαττοις). Pallets like that of the man let down through the roof .

Where they heard he was (οπου ηκουον οτ εστιν). Imperfect tense of ακουω (repetition), present indicative εστιν retained in indirect discourse.
