So the news about him spread quickly throughout all the region around Galilee.
He went into all the region around the Jordan River, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Paul and Barnabas learned about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region.
When the people there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him.
