<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> all the people were listening, Jesus<n id="2" /> said to his disciples,

Now<n id="1" /> the whole crowd<n id="2" /> of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">After Jesus<n id="1" /> had finished teaching all this to the people,<n id="2" /> he entered Capernaum.<n id="3" />

Thus<n id="1" /> they were unable in the presence of the people to trap<n id="2" /> him with his own words.<n id="3" /> And stunned<n id="4" /> by his answer, they fell silent.p>

A great number of the people followed him, among them women<n id="1" /> who were mourning<n id="2" /> and wailing for him.
