'Band' in the Bible

And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,

And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.
