Mark 6:30-34

30The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and taught.

31Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.

32So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.

33But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them.

34Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
