<p>4:37 <i>And there went a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about</i>- &quot;Rumour&quot; is literally &quot;a noise&quot;. The word about the Lord Jesus went to &quot;every place&quot;, every isolated dwelling. The Lord clearly used an economy of miracle, but He did so initially in order to publicize His Messianic claims and above all, His message. For we have noted above that He was using the miracles to exemplify and back up His message.</p>
