Mark 8:2

8:1 In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,

8:2 "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

8:3 And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."
