'Around' in the Bible

Now John was dressed in camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist. He ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

Jesus looked around at them in anger, deeply hurt because of their hard hearts. Then he told the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held it out, and his hand was restored to health.

Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

Then his mother and his brothers arrived. Milling around outside, they sent for him, continuously summoning him.

A crowd was sitting around him. They told him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."

Then looking at the people sitting around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

Then Jesus began to teach again beside the sea. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while the entire crowd remained beside the sea on the shore.

When he was alone with the Twelve and those around him, they began to ask him about the parables.

so that "they may see clearly but not perceive, and they may hear clearly but not understand, otherwise they might turn around and be forgiven.'"

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

Immediately Jesus became aware that power had gone out of him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

But he kept looking around to look at the woman who had done this.

He was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went around to the villages and continued teaching.

The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.

The man looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like trees walking around."

Then Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he was asking his disciples, "Who do people say I am?"

Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus alone.

As they approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and some scribes arguing with them.

So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground and kept rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

Then Jesus left that place and went into the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom.

Then Jesus looked around and told his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

Then Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the Temple and looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the Twelve to Bethany.

Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.

As he taught, he said, "Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces,

Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, "Prophesy!" Even the servants took him and slapped him around.
