Lesson 31~ Many healed near Galilee

Mat. 12:15-21/Mark 3:7-12

Jesus knew what the Jewish leaders were thinking so he left that place. Many people followed Jesus and he healed them. He told them not to tell people who he was. This was to fulfill the Prophecy that Isiah had given that you find in Is. 42:1-4. 

Jesus went to the lake and many people from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea,Tyre, Sidon, and from across Jordan River followed him. For they had heard of all he had done. The sick tried to touch him so they would be healed. Those with evil spirits bowed down in front of him and proclaimed  that he was the son of God. Jesus told them not to tell others who he was. When Jesus saw the crowd he told his followers to take a boat out a little ways into the lake so that the crows could not push against him.
