Mark 6

The Apostles Return

30The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. 31He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a little.” So many people were coming and going that they had no chance even to eat. 32So they went away by themselves in the boat to a deserted place. 33But many saw them leaving and recognized them. People ran there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 34When Jesus stepped ashore, he saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. He began teaching them many things.
