John 12:17-19
Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

Because people heard and saw Jesus raise the dead man Lazarus, that hope of the resurrection for all in Christ made them go after Him. If the whole world saw Who He is and all He did from miraculous birth to bringing wholeness of healed body and soul to life after death, they would also join the "whole world" in going after Him. But blindness, self serving and pride keep most it the grave till judgment.
