And the apostles gathered about Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.
And he saith unto them, "Come ye apart into a desert place, and rest awhile."
For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desert place. And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran there together on foot from all the cities, and arrived before them.
And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, "The place is desert, and the day is now far spent: send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves something to eat."
But he answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat."

| "He who shall search for cities famed of yore, Few wrecks will find on lone Tiberias' shore: Where stood tower-crowned Chorazin, men forget; A palm tree marks thy site, Gennesaret. Tiberias, Herod's pride, still flaunteth fair, But not the cross, the crescent triumphs there." |
