In Mark 7:36, the adverb occurs in the contrast between a command not to tell anyone and the people's increased proclamation; the APB renders the latter clause, "they preached all the more."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Mark 7:36, the APB presents the clause as "they preached all the more." This wording confirms the clause's increased extent without isolating every English equivalent for the adverb.
