Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came together to him.

34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion towards 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 to 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 around, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

37 He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
