Matthew 9:1

Christian Standard Bible

So he got into a boat, crossed over, and came to his own town.

See the chapter Copy

He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

Then all the people of the Gerasene region asked him to leave them, because they were gripped by great fear. So getting into the boat, he returned.

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the sea.

When Jesus saw a large crowd , around him, he gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.

Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.”

As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
