Jesus loved His quiet time.
In the gospels, we constantly see The Lord withdrawing into solitary places, especially early in the morning, to have His quite time in prayer.
Although He had a close circle of disciples, He was never into elitism.
The Lord loved to mix with the common people, and the "sinners", whom the hypocritical pharisees made sure to stay away from.
It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick - Mark 2:16
He always attracted a large crowd.
Where the Lord went, a large crowd always followed, mainly because of His miracles, but also because of His authority in the way He taught and acted.
He was practical.
The Lord wasn't one to uphold senseless tradition at the cost of helping someone. Even though it was against the law to heal on the sabbath, He did it anyway.
He always had authority
Whatever He did, it was always with authority. Whether He taught, healed, or performed miracles, it was always clear to the people that He had authority.
