So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by<n id="1" /> the door, and he preached the word to them.

He said to it,<n id="1" /> &#8220;May no one ever eat fruit from you again.&#8221; And his disciples heard it.<n id="2" />p>

But as the man<n id="1" /> went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus<n id="2" /> was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still<n id="3" /> they kept coming<n id="4" /> to him from everywhere.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked<n id="1" /> the unclean spirit,<n id="2" /> saying to it, &#8220;Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.&#8221;
