Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 But many people saw them leave and recognized them. The people ran from all the cities and arrived ahead of them.

34 When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd and felt sorry for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he spent a lot of time teaching them.

35 When it was late, his disciples came to him. They said, "No one lives around here, and it's already late.

36 Send the people to the closest farms and villages to buy themselves something to eat."

37 Jesus replied, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Should we go and spend about a year's wages on bread to feed them?"
