Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret

53 When they had crossed the sea, they came to [fn]the land of Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54 When they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Jesus. 55 So the people ran around throughout the entire [fn]surrounding region and began to carry the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went, to villages, cities, or the countryside, they would lay the sick in the marketplaces and beg him to let the sick touch even the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
