53And when they had crossed over to land, they came to Gennesaret and anchored. 54And when they got out of the boat, at once people recognized him 55and ran around all that region and began to carry the sick on their mats to wherever they heard that he was. 56And wherever he went, into villages or into towns or into the countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces, and begging him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched him were made well.
