Mark 6:26-36

26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him , he would not reject her.

27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought : and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done , and what they had taught .

31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart * into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going , and they had no leisure so much as to eat .

32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately *.

33 And the people saw them departing , and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.

34 And Jesus, when he came out , saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward 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 .
