On the way from the temple they were met by a throng who came with their sick inquiring for the Great Healer. The report given by the fleeing people caused some of these to turn back. They feared to meet One so powerful, whose very look had driven the priests and rulers from His presence. But a large number pressed through the hurrying crowd, eager to reach Him who was their only hope. When the multitude fled from the temple, many had remained behind. These were now joined by the newcomers. Again the temple court was filled by the sick and the dying, and once more Jesus ministered to them.

På deres vej fra templet mødte de en skare, der kom med deres syge for at søge hjælp hos den store læge. Den beretning, som den flygtende mængde fremkom med, fik nogle af dem til at vende om. De var bange for at møde en, som var så mægtig, og som blot ved sit blik havde jaget præsterne bort fra sin nærhed. Men mange trængte sig gennem den flygtende skare i deres iver for at nå hen til ham, som var deres eneste håb. Da mængden flygtede bort fra templet, var der mange, som var blevet tilbage. Nu sluttede de nyankomne sig til dem. Igen var tempelgården fuld af syge og døende, og atter ydede Jesus dem sin hjælp.
