So many people were coming and going around them that they didn’t even have a chance to eat. So Jesus told them, “I want you to come with me to a quiet place where you can get some rest.”
Jesus came down from the mountain with these men and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there, along with a large number of other people from all over Judea, including Jerusalem, and from the coastland around Tyre and Sidon.
But the man went out and started spreading the news to everyone. So Jesus couldn’t enter a town openly anymore. He had to stay out in desolate places. But people still came to him from everywhere.
