‘Go off by yourselves to a remote place and have some rest’. For there were so many people coming and going that the apostles had no time even to eat
Gospel
text (Mc 6,30-34):
The apostles returned and reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Then
he said to them, «Go off by yourselves to a remote place and have some rest».
For there were so many people coming and going that the apostles had no time
even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a secluded area by themselves.
But people saw them leaving and many could guess where they were going. So, from
all the towns they hurried there on foot, arriving ahead of them. As Jesus went
ashore he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them for they were like
sheep without a shepherd. And he began a long teaching session with them.
