And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.Matthew 4:23-25
So, next, what do we read about Jesus? Well, he went all over Galilee and taught. He went to the synagogues to teach and he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom. He also healed all the diseases and afflictions of the people. These are all really great things that Jesus did. Naturally, we read that his fame spread. However, his fame seems to be linked mostly to his healing. The result of his fame spreading is that people bring him all the sick and diseased people to be healed. I'm not entirely sure, but ti seems as if they didn't really hear what his message was, but were mainly interested in his ability to heal. However, I guess it does result in them following him, which means they probably would've heard what he said. So, he gains many followers and these people are from all over, not just from Galilee.
