Exegesis
The second clause mirrors the first with the participle akousantes {ἀκούσαντες | akoúsantes} ‘having heard,’ now with hoi ochloi {οἱ ὄχλοι | hoi óchloi} ‘the crowds’ as subject, followed by the verb ekolouthesan {ἠκολούθησαν | ēkolouthēsan} ‘they followed.’
In context — Matthew 14:13
But when Jesus heard this, He left that area by boat and went to an uninhabited place to be by Himself; yet when the crowds heard, they pursued Him by land from the cities .
