| | Jesus then departed for the quiet of a lake, but crowds from Galilee and [[Judea]] followed him, and crowds went to Jesus from [[Jerusalem]], [[Idumea]], [[Tyre]] and [[Sidon]], and from beyond the Jordan River, after hearing of his great deeds for the sick. Jesus asked His students for a small boat that would enable him to keep a distance from pressing crowds. Jesus had healed many people, so that many diseased persons pressed on Him trying to touch Him. | | Jesus then departed for the quiet of a lake, but crowds from Galilee and [[Judea]] followed him, and crowds went to Jesus from [[Jerusalem]], [[Idumea]], [[Tyre]] and [[Sidon]], and from beyond the Jordan River, after hearing of his great deeds for the sick.
