Mark 3:7-12

Amplified Bible

⁷ Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a large crowd from Galilee followed Him; and also people from Judea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and [from the region] beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon; a vast number of people came to Him because they were hearing about all [the things] that He was doing. ⁹ And He told His disciples to have a small boat stand ready for Him because of the many people, so that they would not crowd Him; ¹⁰ for He had healed many, and as a result all who had diseases pressed around Him to touch Him. ¹¹ Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and screamed out, “You are the Son of God!” ¹² Jesus sternly warned them [again and again] not to tell who He was.
