<t /><p class="bodytext">After he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.

Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.p>

When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.p>

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>

<p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching,

When<n id="1" /> the crowd saw this, they were afraid<n id="2" /> and honored God who had given such authority to men.<n id="3" />p>

All the crowds were amazed and said, &#8220;Could this one be the Son of David?&#8221;

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

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;

And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while<n id="1" /> the whole crowd stood on the shore.

<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" />

Then<n id="1" /> large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They<n id="2" /> laid them at his feet, and he healed them.

The crowds that went ahead of him and those following kept shouting,<n id="1" /> &#8220;<i>Hosannai><n id="2" /> to the Son of David! <b><i>Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!i>b><n id="3" /> <i>Hosannai> in the highest!&#8221;
