Mark 3:8

⁶ At this, the Pharisees went out and began plotting with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

⁷ So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.

⁹ Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

¹⁰ For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
