While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.

'Behold! the Servant of my Choice, My Beloved, in whom my heart delights! I will breathe my spirit upon him, And he shall announce a time of judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not contend, nor cry aloud, Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets; A bruised reed he will not break, And a smoldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue, And on his name shall the Gentiles rest their hopes."

Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the Sea, followed by a great number of people from Galilee. And a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country round Tyre and Sidon. So Jesus told his disciples to keep a small boat close by, for fear the crowd should crush him. read more.
For he had cured many of them, and so people kept crowding upon him, that all who were afflicted might touch him. The foul spirits, too, whenever they caught sight of him, flung themselves down before him, and screamed out: "You are the Son of God"! But he repeatedly warned them not to make him known.
