And getting up early in the morning [while it was] very dark, he departed and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying.

But he went out [and] began to proclaim [it] freely and to spread abroad the account, so that he was no longer able to enter publicly into a town. But he was staying outside in deserted places, and they were coming to him from all directions.

He said to them, "You men, leave here and go to a deserted place and rest for awhile." For there were so many people coming and going [i.e., to listen to preaching, receive healing, etc.], that they had no opportunity even to eat.

So they went away in a boat to a deserted place by themselves.

And when the day was nearly over His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is deserted and the day is almost over;

His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"

Then they all deserted Him and ran away.
