What happensPermalink
Jesus preaches in His hometown, but finds little faith. He sends His disciples to preach. They retreat from the crowds, but end up feeding the five thousand.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus’s teaching has made Him too popular, so He withdraws, but He continues serving, teaching, praying, and performing miracles even as He retreats.
Key versePermalink
He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
