There were about 4,000 men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten.
Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”
Immediately after this, he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha.
They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food.
Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus said, “Listen, we’re going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true.
