For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
As the crowd gathered for the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus healed the sick and comforted the sorrowing until there was no room left on the narrow beach, so He moved to a level place on the mountain to teach. Many sick people pressed close to Him in hope of being healed, believing that merely touching Him would make them whole. That touch of faith brought healing, turning their distress and gloom into joy and thanksgiving.
