<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus saw a large crowd<n id="1" /> around him, he gave orders to go to the other side of the lake.<n id="2" />

Although<n id="1" /> Herod<n id="2" /> wanted to kill John,<n id="3" /> he feared the crowd because they accepted John as a prophet.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then he called the crowd to him and said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Listen and understand.

<t /><p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,

As he got out he saw the large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

The disciples said to him, &#8220;Where can we get enough bread in this desolate place to satisfy so great a crowd?&#8221;

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

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

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>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Jesus called the<n id="1" /> disciples and said, &#8220;I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don&#8217;t want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way.&#8221;
