'People' in the Bible

And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.

And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

Now a great number of people went with him.

And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.

And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.

And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

And it came about on one of those days, when he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the good news,

That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.

And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

And all the people came early in the morning to give ear to his words in the Temple.

And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

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 when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong

But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him

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

And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.

On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

So there was a division among the people because of him.

But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:

Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.

And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder.

And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you.

And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.

The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;

And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.

Go, take your place in the Temple and give the people all the teaching about this Life.

And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people.

Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.
