When Jesus heard this, he left that place and went by boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the neighboring towns.

The crowds kept saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, the man from Nazareth in Galilee."
Although they wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who considered Jesus to be a prophet.
When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
At this point, Jesus asked the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit? Day after day I sat teaching in the Temple, yet you didn't arrest me.
But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.
