31 "Come with me, just yourselves. We’ll go to a quiet place, and rest for a while," Jesus told them, because there was so much coming and going that they didn’t even have time to eat. 32 So they went by boat to a quiet place to be alone.
33 But people saw them leaving and recognized them. So people from all the surrounding towns ran ahead and got there before them. 34 When Jesus got off the boat he saw a huge crowd, and he felt pity for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them about many things.
