Mark 8:1
In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2 “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
