But they went away and spread the news about him through all of that district.
At that time Herod the ruler heard reports about Jesus,
So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Judeans to this day.
So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all the sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, people possessed by demons or having epilepsy or afflicted with paralysis, and he cured them.
And the report of this spread through all of that district.
At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one, but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
Then Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding region.
And news about him began to reach every place in the region.
But now more than ever the word about Jesus spread abroad; many crowds were gathering to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.
This word about him spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the surrounding region.
