Show Don't Tell: Mark 6:53-56

Instead of saying "Jesus healed many at Gennesaret," watch the sick arrive from everywhere. They cross over, land at Gennesaret, and anchor the boat. As soon as they get out, people recognize Jesus. They run throughout that whole region and carry the sick on mats to wherever they hear he is. Picture it: word spreading like fire, families grabbing mats, loading their sick, rushing toward Jesus. Wherever he goes—villages, towns, countryside—they place the sick in the marketplaces. They beg him to let them touch just the edge of his cloak. And all who touch it are healed. Not just some. All. The whole region mobilizes around one man. The sick reach; the hem is touched; healing flows. Mark summarizes what could fill volumes. Fame spreads. Need multiplies. Jesus keeps healing.
