Mark 6:34-36

and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, --`The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'
