Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 And the people saw them departing , and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.

34 And Jesus, when he came out , saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said , This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

36 Send them away , that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat .

37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat . And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat ?
