And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country.
King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
And the report of this went through all that district.
And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.
But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
