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.”
Jesus knew that the people wanted him to become king. The people planned to come get Jesus and make him their king. So Jesus left and went into the hills alone.
Many people followed Jesus. They followed him because they saw the ways Jesus showed his power by healing the sick people.
The people saw that Jesus and his followers were not there now. So the people got into the boats and went to Capernaum. They wanted to find Jesus.
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?
I told you before that you have seen me, and still you don’t believe.

People like that are not serving our Lord Christ. They are only doing things to please themselves. They use fancy talk and say nice things to fool the people that don’t know about evil.
Other people are interested only in their own lives. They are not interested in the work of Christ Jesus.
The way these people live is leading them to destruction. They don’t serve God. Those people live only to please themselves. They do shameful things, and they are proud of those things. They think only about earthly things.
They are always making trouble, because they are people whose thinking has been confused. They have lost their understanding of the truth. They think that serving God is a way to get rich.
