| 30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. 31 He said to them, “You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 The multitude saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him. 34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. |

Mark 6:30-34 - World English Bible |
| In Mark 6:14-29, the execution of the Baptist acted as an interlude in the apostles' ministry. Here, the twelve returned and sought solitude, but there was none to be found. Both Jesus and his chosen not only fulfilled a need among the people, but touched a nerve, a real need to hear the word of God. The crowds flocked to them; so the Lord took pity on them and taught them about God's realm.
How does the word of God create a hunger in you to hear more? |
