He replied, "Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do."

He wondered at their unbelief.And He was going around in the villages teaching.

Many [people] saw them leaving, and recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the [surrounding] cities, and got there ahead of them.

Send them away, so they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”

As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
