Mark 3:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ Many people also came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem and from a region of Israel called Idumea. They also came from places on the other side of the Jordan River, and from the towns called Tyre and Sidon. Many people had heard about the things that Jesus was doing. That is why all these people came to him. ⁹ The crowd was very large. So Jesus asked his disciples to prepare a small boat for him. They did this so that the people would not push against him. ¹⁰ Sick people were pushing to the front, because they were trying to touch him. They knew that he had made many people well.
