9: 38	Just then a man from the crowd (ochlos) shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child.

13: 14	But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd (ochlos), "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day."
13: 17	When he said this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd (ochlos) was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing.
14: 25	Now large crowds (ochlos) were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them,
18: 36	When he heard a crowd (ochlos) going by, he asked what was happening.

5: 13	Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd (ochlos) that was there.
6: 2	A large crowd (ochlos) kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.
6: 5	When he looked up and saw a large crowd (ochlos) coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"
6: 22	The next day the crowd (ochlos) that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.
6: 24	So when the crowd (ochlos) saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
7: 12	And there was considerable complaining about him among the crowds (ochlos). While some were saying, "He is a good man," others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowd (ochlos)."

7: 20	The crowd (ochlos) answered, "You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"
7: 31	Yet many in the crowd (ochlos) believed in him and were saying, "When the Messiah comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
7: 32	The Pharisees heard the crowd (ochlos) muttering such things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent temple police to arrest him.
7: 40	When they heard these words, some in the crowd (ochlos) said, "This is really the prophet."

7: 49	But this crowd (ochlos), which does not know the law - they are accursed."
11: 42	I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd (ochlos) standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."
12: 9	When the great crowd (ochlos) of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
12: 12	The next day the great crowd (ochlos) that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
12: 17	So the crowd (ochlos) that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
12: 18	It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd (ochlos) went to meet him.
12: 29	The crowd (ochlos) standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
12: 34	The crowd (ochlos) answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Acts

1: 15	In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd (ochlos) numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said,
6: 7	The word of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
8: 6	The crowds (ochlos) with one accord listened eagerly to what was said by Philip, hearing and seeing the signs that he did,
11: 24	for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were brought to the Lord.
11: 26	and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they met with the church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called "Christians."
13: 45	But when the Jews saw the crowds (ochlos), they were filled with jealousy; and blaspheming, they contradicted what was spoken by Paul.
14: 11	When the crowds (ochlos) saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!"
14: 13	The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds (ochlos) wanted to offer sacrifice.
14: 14	When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd (ochlos), shouting,
14: 18	Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds (ochlos) from offering sacrifice to them.
14: 19	But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds (ochlos). Then they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
16: 22	The crowd (ochlos) joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
17: 8	The people and the city officials were disturbed when they heard this,
17: 13	But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea as well, they came there too, to stir up and incite the crowds (ochlos).
19: 26	You also see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost the whole of Asia this Paul has persuaded and drawn away a considerable number of people by saying that gods made with hands are not gods.
19: 33	Some of the crowd (ochlos) gave instructions to Alexander, whom the Jews had pushed forward. And Alexander motioned for silence and tried to make a defense before the people.
19: 35	But when the town clerk had quieted the crowd (ochlos), he said, "Citizens of Ephesus, who is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple keeper of the great Artemis and of the statue that fell from heaven?
21: 27	When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd (ochlos). They seized him,
21: 34	Some in the crowd (ochlos) shouted one thing, some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
21: 35	When Paul came to the steps, the violence of the mob was so great that he had to be carried by the soldiers.
24: 12	They did not find me disputing with anyone in the temple or stirring up a crowd (ochlos) either in the synagogues or throughout the city.
24: 18	While I was doing this, they found me in the temple, completing the rite of purification, without any crowd (ochlos) or disturbance.

Revelation

7: 9	After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands.
17: 15	And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the whore is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
19: 1	After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power to our God,
19: 6	Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
