People

People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.

…the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.

Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.

And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.

In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed,

But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.

Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”

And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.

The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”

Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”

As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.

As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

…to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:

…which You have prepared in the sight of all people,

…a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”

The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
