Mark 6:31
29 When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30 Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
33 But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
