8 In those days when [again] an immense crowd had gathered and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and told them,

² I have pity and sympathy for the people and My heart goes out to them, for they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat;

³ And if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will be feeble through exhaustion and faint along the road; and some of them have come a long way.
