30. The apostles met with Jesus and told him everything, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31. Then He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest a while,” for many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
32. So they went into a remote place privately by boat.
33. But the people saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot out of every city. They arrived first and came together to Him.
34. When Jesus came out and saw many people, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35. When the day was now getting late, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a remote place, and now the time is passing.
36. Send them away into the surrounding country and villages to buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37. But He answered, “You give them something to eat.”They said to Him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”
38. He said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.”When they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39. Then He commanded them to make everyone sit down by companies on the green grass.
40. So they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
