Mark 6:55

And ran through that whole region round about
That is, the inhabitants of that part of the country where Christ landed, ran many of them themselves, and others sent messengers into all parts of it, on every side:

and began to carry about in beds those that were sick;
or lame, or so disordered that they could not walk, or bear any other way of being carried: these they brought to him,

where they heard he was:
in whatsoever part of the country they could learn he was in; for he went about from place to place doing good.

53 And [after they] had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored [there].

54 And [as] they were getting out of the boat, [people] recognized him immediately.

55 They ran about [through] that whole region and began to carry around those {who were sick} on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.

56 And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.
