Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.

Seeing the multitude of people, Jesus went up the Hill. There He seated Himself, and when His disciples came to Him,

Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, "I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.

While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.

when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.

Upon receiving these tidings, Jesus went away by boat to an uninhabited and secluded district; but the people heard of it and followed Him in crowds from the towns by land.

But when evening was come, the disciples came to Him and said, "This is an uninhabited place, and the best of the day is now gone; send the people away to go into the villages and buy something to eat."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,

and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.

He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.

When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.

When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.

The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.

and the multitudes--some of the people preceding Him and some following--sang aloud, "God save the Son of David! Blessings on Him who comes in the Lord's name! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"

Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,

But they said, "Not during the Festival, lest there be a riot among the people."

He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

Soon afterwards he went out and stood in the gateway, when another girl saw him, and said, addressing the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."
