OET (OET-LV) And great crowds followed after_him from the Galilaia, and the_Dekapolis, and Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim), and Youdaia, and beyond the Yordanaʸs/(Yardēn).

OET (OET-RV) Large crowds from Galilee and Decapolis and Yerushalem, and from all of Yudea and even beyond the Yordan River, followed after Yeshua.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:23–25: Jesus taught, preached, and healed many people

Before this time, not many people knew about Jesus. But soon the news of his teaching and healing spread throughout Galilee and then into neighboring regions and beyond as well. Some of these regions were Jewish and some were non-Jewish.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The ministry of Jesus in Galilee

Jesus did God’s work and the news of him spread beyond Galilee

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 6:17–19.

Paragraph 4:23–25

This paragraph tells where Jesus began his ministry of preaching, teaching, and healing, and how the people responded it.

The events in this paragraph probably happened soon after Jesus called his first disciples. In some languages, it may be natural to begin this paragraph with a time word. For example:

Then

4:25a

The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee,

The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee: The phrase large crowds indicates a very great number of people. The word crowds is plural because many people came from Galilee, many others came from Decapolis, many others came from Jerusalem, and so forth.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Very many people

Large numbers of people

that followed Him: Here the phrase followed Him probably means “went with Jesus.” In other contexts, it can mean “became a disciple of Jesus.” Some people in the crowd may have followed Jesus for the purpose of being his disciples, but others followed him only to see his miracles. Here you should translate followed in a literal way. For example:

went with him

accompanied him

followed him wherever he went (NLT)

4:25b

the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea,

the Decapolis: The word Decapolis means “the ten cities.” It refers to a region where there was a group of ten cities that had special status under Roman law.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Jerusalem, Judea: The names Jerusalem and Judea are mentioned together, but Jerusalem is a city and Judea is a district. Jerusalem was the main city in Judea. You may want to make it clear that Jerusalem was in Judea. For example:

Jerusalem and other areas of the district of Judea

4:25c

and beyond the Jordan.

and beyond the Jordan: The phrase beyond the Jordan refers to land on the east side of the Jordan River. Jerusalem was on the west side of the Jordan River. Other land was referred to as land beyond, across, or on the other side of the Jordan River.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the land across the Jordan River (NCV)

from east of the Jordan River (NLT)

the land on the other side of the Jordan River

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ Δεκαπόλεως, καὶ Ἱεροσολύμων, καὶ Ἰουδαίας, καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου

followed ˱after˲_him crowds (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί ἀπό τῆς Γαλιλαίας καί Δεκαπόλεως καί Ἱεροσολύμων καί Ἰουδαίας καί πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου)

Matthew indicates that large crowds traveled wherever Jesus went. The people who made up these crowds came from all the regions and towns that Matthew mentions in this verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [large crowds of people from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Δεκαπόλεως

˓the˒_Decapolis

The word Decapolis is a name for a region to the southeast of Galilee. The name means “the Ten Towns.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου

beyond the Jordan

Here, the phrase beyond the Jordan refers to regions to the east of the Jordan River. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the areas on the east side of the Jordan River]

OET (OET-RV) Large crowds from Galilee and Decapolis and Yerushalem, and from all of Yudea and even beyond the Yordan River, followed after Yeshua.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
