9:1 After 1 Jesus 2 called 3 the twelve 4 together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure 5 diseases,
4:40 As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives 10 sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. 11 He placed 12 his hands on every one of them and healed them.
6:17 Then 13 he came down with them and stood on a level place. 14 And a large number 15 of his disciples had gathered 16 along with 17 a vast multitude from all over Judea, from 18 Jerusalem, 19 and from the seacoast of Tyre 20 and Sidon. 21 They came to hear him and to be healed 22 of their diseases,

20 tn Grk “and.”
21 tn Grk “and from,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
