³¹And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

          32So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
          33But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
          34When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

³⁵By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

³⁶Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
