“And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.”
They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was — the regional response at Gennesaret mirrors the initial response at Capernaum (Mark 1:32–33) but on a larger scale: not just the town but the whole region mobilizes. Carried the sick on mats — the image echoes the four friends who carried the paralytic through the roof in chapter 2, but here it is the entire region carrying its sick to wherever Jesus has been reported. The kingdom's healing ministry has become a regional movement.
