'Crowds' in the Bible

More and more believers in the Lord, crowds of men and women, were constantly being added to their number,

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things said by Paul, and were slandering him.

And the crowds, when they saw what Paul had done, raised their voices, shouting in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
