Luke 9:10-12

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁰ The apostles returned and told Jesus what they had done. He took them off and went away privately to a town called Bethsaida. ¹¹ When the crowds discovered, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed it.

¹² As the day wore on, the Twelve came to Jesus.

“Send the crowd away,” they said, “so that they can go into the villages and countryside nearby, find somewhere to stay, and get something to eat. We’re in quite a lonely spot here.”
