Crowds

…because I greatly feared the crowds and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside—

I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.

After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.

Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.

But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.

The crowds all paid close attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.

When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.

Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
