'Multitudes' in the Bible
Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.
When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;
When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?”
While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.
And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.
Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,
Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.
After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.
And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.
and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.
and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting,“Hosanna to the Son of David;Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;Hosanna in the highest!”
And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.
