Context of Mark 6:55

53When they had crossed over [the sea], they reached the land of Gennesaret and anchored at the shore. 54They got out of the boat and immediately people recognized Him, and ran throughout that surrounding countryside and began to carry around on their mats those who were sick, to any place where they heard He was. 56And wherever He came into villages, or cities, or the countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places and pleading with Him [to allow them] just to touch the fringe (tassel with a blue cord) of His robe; and all who touched it were healed.
