Genesis 50:22-26 and Mark 3:7-12 (NLT)

Genesis 50:22-26
The Death of Joseph
22  Joseph continued to live in Egypt with his father's family; he was a hundred and ten years old when he died.
He lived to see Ephraim's children and grandchildren. He also lived to receive the children of Machir son of 23  Manasseh into the family.
24  He said to his brothers,
I am about to die, but God will certainly take care of you and lead you out of this land to the land he solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25  Then Joseph asked his people to make a vow. Promise me, he said, that when God leads you to that land, you will take my body with you.
26  So Joseph died in Egypt at the age of a hundred and ten. They embalmed his body and put it in a coffin.

Mark 3:7-12
Crowds Follow Jesus
7    Jesus and his disciples went away to Lake Galilee, and a large crowd followed him. They had come from Galilee, from Judea,
8    from Jerusalem, from the territory of Idumea, from the territory on the east side of the Jordan, and from the region around the cities of Tyre and Sidon. All these people came to Jesus because they had heard of the things he was doing.
9    The crowd was so large that Jesus told his disciples to get a boat ready for him, so that the people would not crush him.
10  He had healed many people, and all the sick kept pushing their way to him in order to touch him.
11  And whenever the people who had evil spirits in them saw him, they would fall down before him and scream,
You are the Son of God!
12  Jesus sternly ordered the evil spirits not to tell anyone who he was.
