Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
-
Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
-
Two Blind Men Receive Sight
As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
-
The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
-
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
-
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
-
The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
-
They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.
-
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
-
A Warning Against Hypocrisy
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
-
Jesus Arrested
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
-
In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.
-
Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.
-
So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
-
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
-
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
-
Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
-
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.
-
Crowds Follow Jesus
Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
-
Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.
-
Jesus Accused by His Family and by Teachers of the Law
Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.
-
A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
-
The Parable of the Sower
Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge.
-
Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
-
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman
When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.
