Exegesis
The aorist verb ēkolouthēsan {ἠκολούθησαν | ē-ko-loú-thē-san} “they followed” stands first, followed by the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | au-tō} “to Him” and then the subject noun phrase ochloi polloi {ὄχλοι πολλοί | óch-loi pol-loí} “many crowds,” where the adjective follows the noun in typical Greek order, heightening the impression of a large multitude.
In context — Matthew 19:2
And great crowds followed Him, and He healed them there .
