yourselves and rest a while."
1: For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even
to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by
themselves.
3: Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried
there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.
2: As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion
for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he
began to teach them many things.
1: When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret
and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at
once recognized him, rushed about that whole region and began to
bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
3: And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they
laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might
touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were
healed.
