Matthew 14:13-14 Luke 9:10-11 John 6:1-2
13When Jesus heard, (that John the Baptist was now dead) He departed from there by boat into a deserted place apart. And hearing, the crowds followed Him on foot out of the cities. 14And Jesus went out and saw a great crowd, and He was moved with compassion toward them. And He healed their sick.
MKJV
 10And returning, the apostles told Him all that they had done. And He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida. 11But knowing this, the crowds followed Him. And He received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and He healed those who had need of healing.
MKJV
 1After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, the Sea of Tiberias. 2And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on the sick ones.
MKJV
Insights
  • Even after Jesus hearing the news of John the Baptist now dead, Matthew 14:8, Mark 6:24. and Jesus most-likely desiring solitude. Jesus again had compassion on the people and put their needs above His own and He taught and healed the people.
  • The people sought out Jesus, we also need to seek Jesus, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7,
  • I am sure it was a mixed crowd, some following out of faith, others out of curiosity, and others because it was the thing to do. Yet Jesus did not critique the crowd, rather He healed throes in need of healing.
