And when the day was now far spent

Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 But many people who saw them leaving recognized them. They ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

34 When Jesus came ashore, he saw a large crowd. He felt deep concern for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

35 By that time it was late in the day. His disciples came to him. "There is nothing here," they said. "It's already very late.

36 Send the people away. They can go and buy something to eat in the nearby countryside and villages."

37 But Jesus answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a person's pay! Should we go and spend that much on bread? Are we supposed to feed them?"
