The high priest and the Scribes continually sought means to put him to death.

Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."

As he said this, all adversaries were put to shame; and all the crowd rejoiced for the glorious things that he continually did.

For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.
