So the Jewish leaders were like, 'Wait, is he talking about killing himself? Because he keeps saying he's going somewhere we can't follow.'

The crowd was absolutely amazed when they watched it all happen — people who couldn't speak were suddenly talking, those with missing limbs were completely healed, people who couldn't walk were up and moving, and the blind could see everything. They couldn't help but praise the God of Israel for what they witnessed.

So the disciples started talking among themselves like, 'Oh no, he's saying this because we forgot to bring bread.'
