Exegesis
The main finite verb is synēchthēsan {συνήχθησαν | synḗch-thē-san} ‘were gathered together’, an aorist passive that presents the gathering of the crowds as a completed event, with ochloi polloi {ὄχλοι πολλοί | ókh-loi pol-loí} ‘many crowds’ as the emphatic subject, highlighting both number and diversity.
In context — Matthew 13:2
And many crowds were gathered to Him , so that He entered into a boat and sat down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore .
