Mark 6:30-36

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁰ The apostles [sent out as missionaries] came back and gathered together to Jesus, and told Him all that they had done and taught.

³¹ And He said to them, [^[a]As for you] come away by yourselves to a deserted place, and rest a while—for many were [continually] coming and going, and they had not even leisure enough to eat.

³² And they went away in a boat to a solitary place by themselves.

³³ Now many [people] saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the surrounding towns, and they got there ahead [of those in the boat].

³⁴ As Jesus landed, He saw a great crowd waiting, and He was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.

³⁵ And when ^[b]the day was already far gone, His disciples came to Him and said, This is a desolate and isolated place, and the hour is now late.

³⁶ Send the crowds away to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat.
