Mark 3:7-12

7Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.

8When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.

9Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.

10For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.

11Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

12But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.
