<p class="bodytext">So<n id="1" /> the crowds were asking<n id="2" /> him, &#8220;What then should we do?&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now large crowds<n id="1" /> were accompanying Jesus,<n id="2" /> and turning to them he said,

When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was going on.

So<n id="1" /> Judas<n id="2" /> agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus<n id="3" /> when no crowd was present.<n id="4" />p>

The<n id="1" /> whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power<n id="2" /> was coming out from him and healing them all.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus<n id="1" /> from one town after another,<n id="2" /> he spoke to them<n id="3" /> in a parable:

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus returned,<n id="1" /> the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now on<n id="1" /> the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

But<n id="1" /> some of the Pharisees<n id="2" /> in the crowd said to him, &#8220;Teacher, rebuke your disciples.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Then<n id="1" /> Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, &#8220;I find no basis for an accusation<n id="2" /> against this man.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">So John<n id="1" /> said to the crowds<n id="2" /> that came out to be baptized by him, &#8220;You offspring of vipers!<n id="3" /> Who warned you to flee<n id="4" /> from the coming wrath?

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,<n id="2" /> and the crowd was pressing around him<n id="3" /> to hear the word of God.

But the news about him spread even more,<n id="1" /> and large crowds were gathering together to hear him<n id="2" /> and to be healed of their illnesses.

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Levi gave a great banquet<n id="2" /> in his house for Jesus,<n id="3" /> and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting<n id="4" /> at the table with them.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Soon<n id="1" /> afterward<n id="2" /> Jesus<n id="3" /> went to a town<n id="4" /> called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

<p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> John&#8217;s messengers had gone, Jesus<n id="2" /> began to speak to the crowds about John: &#8220;What did you go out into the wilderness<n id="3" /> to see? A reed shaken by the wind?<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Jesus&#8217;<n id="1" /> mother and his brothers<n id="2" /> came to him, but<n id="3" /> they could not get near him because of the crowd.

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying.<n id="1" />p> <p class="bodytext">As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed<n id="2" /> around him.

Then<n id="1" /> a man from the crowd cried out,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Teacher, I beg you to look at<n id="3" /> my son &#8211; he is my only child!

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> he was casting out a demon that was mute.<n id="2" /> When<n id="3" /> the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute began to speak,<n id="4" /> and the crowds were amazed.
