But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
At that time Prince Herod heard of the fame of Jesus,
So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were instructed. And this story has been current among the Jews from that day to this.
And his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain--any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.
The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
And the fame of Jesus spread at once in all directions, through the whole neighborhood of Galilee.
Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that neighborhood;
And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the neighborhood.
However, the story about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came together to listen to him, and to be cured of their illnesses;
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
