'Started' in the Bible

When evening came, after the sun had set, people started bringing to him everyone who was sick or possessed by demons.

Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.

The young lady got up at once and started to walk. She was twelve years old. Instantly they were overcome with astonishment.

And He *directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people.

Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].”

Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

And, throwing away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.

Then the chief priests and the scribes heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.

Jesus began to speak to them [the chief priests, scribes and elders who were questioning Him] in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a pit for the wine press and built a tower; and he rented it out to tenant farmers and left the country.

And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.

Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid.
