about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the
people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all
sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those
who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Great
multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem,
Judea, and beyond the Jordan. (太Matt 4:23-25)

immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him. (太Matt 4:20,
22)

followed Him(太Matt 9:9)
