So there was a division in the crowd because of Jesus.

The crowd answered, “You’re possessed by a demon! Who is trying to kill you?”

But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!”

There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others, “He deceives the common people.”

A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.

When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, “This really is the Prophet!”

The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

Because they had heard that Jesus had performed this miraculous sign, the crowd went out to meet him.

But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?”

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Jesus, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.

The crowd that stood there and heard the voice said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to him.

Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”

So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Now a large crowd of Judeans learned that Jesus was there, and so they came not only because of him but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

Then the crowd responded, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
