Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. {31} He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. {32} And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. {33} Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. {34} As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
{53} When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. 54} When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, {55} and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. {56} And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed. {NRSV}
