That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.<n id="1" />

because a door of great opportunity stands wide open for me,<n id="1" /> but there are many opponents.p>

Since many<n id="1" /> are boasting according to human standards,<n id="2" /> I too will boast.

<p class="bodytext">For there are many<n id="1" /> rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> because you know that we will be judged more strictly.<n id="2" />

As Jesus<n id="1" /> was having a meal<n id="2" /> in Levi&#8217;s<n id="3" /> home, many tax collectors<n id="4" /> and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

And large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis,<n id="1" /> Jerusalem,<n id="2" /> Judea, and beyond the Jordan River.<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus learned of this, he went away from there. Great<n id="1" /> crowds<n id="2" /> followed him, and he healed them all.

For many will come in my name, saying, &#8216;I am the Christ,&#8217;<n id="1" /> and they will mislead many.

So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by<n id="1" /> the door, and he preached the word to them.

Jesus<n id="1" /> asked him, &#8220;What is your name?&#8221; And he said, &#8220;My name is Legion,<n id="2" /> for we are many.&#8221;

Many scolded<n id="1" /> him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, &#8220;Son of David, have mercy on me!&#8221;

Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

Many will come in my name, saying, &#8216;I am he,&#8217;<n id="1" /> and they will mislead many.

&#8220;Exert every effort<n id="1" /> to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

<t /><p class="bodytext">After this many of his disciples quit following him<n id="1" /> and did not accompany him<n id="2" /> any longer.

Many of them were saying, &#8220;He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind!<n id="1" /> Why do you listen to him?&#8221;

so many of the Jewish people of the region<n id="1" /> had come to Martha and Mary to console them<n id="2" /> over the loss of their brother.)<n id="3" />

But many of those who had listened to<n id="1" /> the message<n id="2" /> believed, and the number of the men<n id="3" /> came to about five thousand.p>

Therefore many of them believed, along with quite a few<n id="1" /> prominent<n id="2" /> Greek women and men.
