News about a person could easily spread over a distance, but without the many believing what they heard. Israel and Syria put together are still quite small, they are not near the size of my state. That verse is referring to the ones who actually believed. Jesus told the priest and the people that they had seen the miracles and still did not believe. They did not believe the miracles were real nor did they believe He was the Son of God. They had preconceived notions about who and what the Son of God should be like and how He should act, they failed to understand the words given to them by God.

Maybe they did not believe him because they recognized his "miracles" to be a sham, a dime-a-dozen so-called "miracle workers" in 1st century Palestine?
