Dismiss them, so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food; for they have nothing to eat."

Now when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and they may find lodging and find provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples approached and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

And if I dismiss them hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from a distance."
