After sending away the crowd, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.<n id="1" />p>

And the crowds were saying, &#8220;This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth<n id="1" /> in Galilee.&#8221;p>

But if we say, &#8216;From people,&#8217; we fear the crowd, for they all consider John to be a prophet.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">During the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd,<n id="1" /> whomever they wanted.

<t /><p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain.<n id="2" /> After he sat down his disciples came to him.

When Jesus entered the ruler&#8217;s house and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd,

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, &#8220;Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!&#8221;

When<n id="1" /> he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were bewildered and helpless,<n id="2" /> like sheep without a shepherd.

<p class="bodytext">While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: &#8220;What did you go out into the wilderness<n id="1" /> to see? A reed shaken by the wind?<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">While Jesus<n id="1" /> was still speaking to the crowds,<n id="2" /> his mother and brothers<n id="3" /> came and<n id="4" /> stood outside, asking<n id="5" /> to speak to him.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it,<n id="1" /> they followed him on foot from the towns.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Immediately Jesus<n id="1" /> made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds.

And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

As a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.p>

he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, who then gave them to the crowds.<n id="1" />

The<n id="1" /> crowd scolded<n id="2" /> them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, &#8220;Lord, have mercy on us,<n id="3" /> Son of David!&#8221;

A<n id="1" /> very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.

Then<n id="1" /> he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples,<n id="2" /> who in turn gave them to the crowds.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him saying, &#8220;Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.&#8221;
