Luke 9:10

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

When the apostles returned they told Jesus what they had done. Then Jesus took them and went away privately to a town called Bethsaida. [Note: This town was on the east side of Lake Galilee, and apparently was a different “Bethsaida” from the one mentioned in Mark 6:45].
