How did the news about Jesus spread so quickly?

Marc 1:28 (NEG79)

28 Et sa renommée se répandit aussitôt dans tous les lieux environnants de la Galilée.

Everyone in the surrounding regions was talking about what happened: rumours about Jesus spread throughout Galilee. Capernaum (where they currently were) was a border city. The surrounding area mostly bordered Galilee. In that non-Jewish area the rumour could spread quickly—also on the Sabbath. The result will become apparent in Mark 1:32 when the people of the surrounding area (after the Jewish Sabbath has just ended) already come to Jesus.1
