The man left there and told all the people he saw that Jesus had healed him. So the news about Jesus spread. And that is why Jesus could not enter a town if people saw him. Jesus stayed in places where people did not live. But people came from all the towns to the places where Jesus was.
But many people saw them leave. The people knew it was Jesus. So people from all the towns ran to the place where Jesus was going. The people were there before Jesus arrived.
Then the leading priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Jewish council. They said, “What should we do? This man (Jesus) is doing many miracles. {\cf2\super [181]}
This was the first miracle {\cf2\super [36]} that Jesus did. Jesus did this miracle in the town of Cana in Galilee. So Jesus showed his greatness. And his followers believed in him.
Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover {\cf2\super [43]} festival. Many people believed in Jesus because they saw the miracles {\cf2\super [44]} he did.
One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. Nicodemus said, “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. No person can do these miracles {\cf2\super [46]} that you do without God’s help.”
The people saw this miracle {\cf2\super [84]} that Jesus did. The people said, “He must truly be the Prophet {\cf2\super [85]} that is coming into the world.”
The next day came. Some people had stayed on the other side of the lake. These people knew that Jesus did not go with his followers in the boat. The people knew that Jesus’ followers had left in the boat alone. And they knew that it was the only boat that was there.
Jesus answered, “Why are you looking for me? Are you looking for me because you saw me do miracles {\cf2\super [86]} that prove my power? No! I tell you the truth. You are looking for me because you ate the bread and you were satisfied (full).
So the people asked, “What miracle {\cf2\super [88]} will you do to prove \{that you are the One God sent\}? If we can see you do a miracle, then we will believe you. What will you do?
