'People' in the Bible

The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

“Follow Me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and He was speaking the message to them.

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. People came and asked Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme.

The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened.

But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”

While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”

They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly.

So He was not able to do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

If any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

So they went out and preached that people should repent.

And they were driving out many demons, anointing many sick people with olive oil, and healing them.

He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

but many saw them leaving and recognized them. People ran there by land from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

Then He instructed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

As they got out of the boat, people immediately recognized Him.

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

They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well! He even makes deaf people hear, and people unable to speak, talk!”

His disciples answered Him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to fill these people?”

Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke the loaves, and kept on giving them to His disciples to set before the people. So they served the loaves to the crowd.

He looked up and said, “I see people—they look to me like trees walking.”

Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.

Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!”

Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.

Sitting across from the temple treasury, He watched how the crowd dropped money into the treasury. Many rich people were putting in large sums.

“Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”

At the festival it was Pilate’s custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.
