6. CURES IN Mark 6:53-56 (Matthew 14:34-36) 53-56 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him, and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.--This is a beautiful plain on the western shore of the sea, about four miles long and two or three miles wide. Capernaum was at the northern end of it. As soon as Jesus had landed, as he passed on toward Capernaum, the people from "all that region round about" flocked to him with their variously afflicted ones, and besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
