'Welcomed' in the Bible

Now as Jesus was returning [to Galilee], the people welcomed Him, for they had all been expecting Him.

But when the crowds learned of it, they followed Him; and He welcomed them and He began talking to them about the kingdom of God, and healing those who needed to be healed.

Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered a village [called Bethany], and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

So Zaccheus hurried and came down, and welcomed Jesus with joy.
