And [when it] was day, he departed [and] went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them.

And behold, men [came] carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and place [him] before him.

And the whole crowd was seeking to touch him, because power was going out from him and healing [them] all.

And he was seeking to see Jesus--who he was--and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.

And he was teaching every day in the temple [courts], and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him.

And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.
