Exegesis
The dative pronoun auto {αὐτῷ | autō} is placed immediately after the verb, marking the person being followed, while the subject ochlos polys {ὄχλος πολύς | ochlos polýs} “great crowd” comes later, a word order that highlights the action before identifying who is performing it.
In context — John 6:2
And a great crowd was following Him , because they were observing the signs which He was doing upon those who were sick.
