Exegesis
The adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} “there” closes the sentence, anchoring both following and healing to the same location. The two coordinated aorist verbs present a compact summary: the crowds’ decisive movement toward Jesus and His decisive response of healing. In English, explicit subjects are supplied (“crowds,” “He”) and the clauses are smoothed into a single flowing sentence while preserving the tight linkage between following and healing.
