Mark 6:30-34

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

30 ^{1 2}The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.

31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while. ”For many were coming and going, and ³they had no leisure even to eat.

32 ⁴And they went away in ⁵the boat to a desolate place by themselves.

33 Now many saw them going and ⁶recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

34 When he went ashore he ⁷saw a great crowd, and ⁸he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
