Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 And many saw them departing and knew him and ran there afoot out of the cities and arrived before them and came together unto him.

34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw a great multitude and had mercy on 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 said unto him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred denarius and give them to eat?
