Mark 3:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 The Pharisees left the meeting place immediately. They went to meet with some other people who were friends with the ruler, Herod.[a] The Pharisees talked with them about how they could kill Jesus.
Crowds follow Jesus
7 Jesus left that place and he went away to Lake Galilee with his disciples. A large crowd of people from Galilee followed them. 8 Many people also came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem and from a region of Israel called Idumea. They also came from places on the other side of the Jordan River, and from the towns called Tyre and Sidon. Many people had heard about the things that Jesus was doing. That is why all these people came to him.
