Mark 6:32 In-Context

30 The apostles gathered around Jesus. They told him all they had done and taught.

31 But many people were coming and going. So they did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said to his apostles, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place. You need to get some rest."

32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a quiet place.

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.
