'Crowd' in the Bible

Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above where He was. And when they had broken through, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

Then Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to Him, and He taught them.

Then He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him.

Then He went home, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat.

A crowd was sitting around Him and told Him, “Look, Your mother, Your brothers, and Your sisters are outside asking for You.”

Again He began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around Him. So He got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was on the shore facing the sea.

So they left the crowd and took Him along since He was already in the boat. And other boats were with Him.

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him while He was by the sea.

So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against Him.

Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His robe.

At once Jesus realized in Himself that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My robes?”

His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then He began to teach them many things.

Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

Summoning the crowd again, He told them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:

When He went into the house away from the crowd, the disciples asked Him about the parable.

So He took him away from the crowd privately. After putting His fingers in the man’s ears and spitting, He touched his tongue.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He summoned the disciples and said to them,

“I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke the loaves, and kept on giving them to His disciples to set before the people. So they served the loaves to the crowd.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.

All of a sudden, when the whole crowd saw Him, they were amazed and ran to greet Him.

Out of the crowd, one man answered Him, “Teacher, I brought my son to You. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly coming together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!”

They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

Then the chief priests and the scribes heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.

But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.

Because they knew He had said this parable against them, they were looking for a way to arrest Him, but they were afraid of the crowd. So they left Him and went away.

The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.

Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
