6The Pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
8from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
9He spoke to his disciples, that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn`t press on him.
10For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.
11The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the Son of God!"
12He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.
