Mark 3:6-10

6At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.

7Jesus went out to the lake with his disciples, and a large crowd followed him. They came from all over Galilee, Judea,

8Jerusalem, Idumea, from east of the Jordan River, and even from as far north as Tyre and Sidon. The news about his miracles had spread far and wide, and vast numbers of people came to see him.

9Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready so the crowd would not crush him.

10He had healed many people that day, so all the sick people eagerly pushed forward to touch him.
