And this rumour of him,.... Or the report of this surprising miracle in raising a dead man to life, that was carrying to his grave, went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about; not only Judea, and the several cities, towns, and villages in it, but all the country round about it, especially Galilee.
