'Crowds' in the Bible
And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled with amazement at His teaching,
Upon descending from the hill country He was followed by immense crowds.
Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"
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.
Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,
"This is Jesus, the Prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee," replied the crowds.
Then said Jesus to the crowds, "Have you come out as if to fight with a robber, with swords and bludgeons to apprehend me? Day after day I have been sitting teaching in the Temple, and you did not arrest me.
