The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics. And he healed them.
Wherever he went—into villages, cities, or the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his cloak. And all who touched him were healed.
As a result, people carried the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
