30 The apostles
gathered around
Jesus, and told him all that they had done
and taught. 31 He said to
them, “Come away to a deserted place all
by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going,
and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went
away in the boat to a deserted place by
themselves. 33 Now many saw
them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from
all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34 As he went
ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them,
because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to
teach them many things.
53 When they had
crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the
boat. 54 When they got
out of the boat, people at once recognized him, 55 and
rushed about
that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever
they heard he was. 56 And
wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the
sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even
the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were
healed.
