Mark 3:9 in Context — Mark 3

7 Mas Jesús se apartó á la mar con sus discípulos: y le siguió gran multitud de Galilea, y de Judea,

8 Y de Jerusalem, y de Idumea, y de la otra parte del Jordán. Y los de alrededor de Tiro y de Sidón, grande multitud, oyendo cuán grandes cosas hacía, vinieron á él.

9 Y dijo á sus discípulos que le estuviese siempre apercibida la barquilla, por causa del gentío, para que no le oprimiesen.

10 Porque había sanado á muchos; de manera que caían sobre él cuantos tenían plagas, por tocarle.

11 Y los espíritus inmundos, al verle, se postraban delante de él, y daban voces, diciendo: Tú eres el Hijo de Dios.
