“They have blown the trumpet and everyone is ready, but no one goes to battle, because my anger is against their whole crowd. ¹ 

Now when Jesus saw a large crowd ¹  around him, he gave orders to go to the other side of the lake. ² 

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and gently took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

The disciples said to him, “Where can we get enough bread in this desolate place to satisfy so great a crowd?”

The ¹  crowd scolded ²  them to get them to be quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy on us, ³  Son of David!”

A ¹  very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers ¹  are outside looking for you.”

So ¹  after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat, ²  and other boats were with him.

When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.

Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”

Immediately Jesus ¹  made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd.

After Jesus ¹  took him aside privately, away from the crowd, he put his fingers in the man’s ²  ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue. ³ 

In those days there was another large crowd with nothing to eat. So ¹  Jesus ²  called his disciples and said to them,

“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days, and they have nothing to eat.

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and experts in the law ¹  arguing with them.

A member of the crowd said to him, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that makes him mute.

Now ¹  they wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd), because they realized that he told this parable against them. So ²  they left him and went away. ³ 

If David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” ¹  And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

Then ¹  he ²  sat down opposite the offering box, ³  and watched the crowd putting coins into it. Many rich people were throwing in large amounts.

Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them. Then, ¹  after he had Jesus flogged, ²  he handed him over ³  to be crucified.
