So they asked Jesus to leave their territory.
Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave our country. You have become more powerful than we are.”
She said to Elijah, “Man of God, why did you do this to me? Did you come here to remind God of my sins and so cause my son's death?”
So everyone from the town went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their territory.
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here to destroy us? I know who you are—you are God's holy messenger!”
and screamed in a loud voice, “Jesus, Son of the Most High God! What do you want with me? For God's sake, I beg you, don't punish me!” (
When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he fell on his knees before Jesus and said, “Go away from me, Lord! I am a sinful man!”
Then all the people from that territory asked Jesus to go away, because they were terribly afraid. So Jesus got into the boat and left.
So they went and apologized to them; then they led them out of the prison and asked them to leave the city.
But why should we risk death again? That terrible fire will destroy us. We are sure to die if we hear the Lord our God speak again.
