Mark 6:55

Sickness and healing

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56 And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
