said to them, Come to a solitary place by yourselves, and
rest a little; for many were coming and going, and there was no
convenient time to eat. [6:32]And they went away to a solitary place in
the ship by themselves. [6:33]And many saw them going, and knew them;
and they ran together there from all the cities on foot, and went
before them. [6:34]And going out he saw a great multitude, and had
compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and
he taught them much.

6 [6:35]And when much time had already passed, his disciples came to
him and said, This is a solitary place, and much time has already
passed; [6:36]dismiss them, that they may go to the farms and villages
around, and buy them something to eat. [6:37]And he answered and said
to them, Give them something to eat. And they said to him, Shall we go
