Bible verse
But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
Luke 9:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 9.
7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 They did so, and everyone was seated.
