Summary
He said to them, come away to a deserted place or you can translate that a lonely place. Back to what Jesus says, verse 31, come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while. So since we're not told here, the reason why they said what they said, let's put the best construction on it that the disciples are legitimately concerned that these people are hungry and they're in a lonely place and it's getting late and they're not going to be able to get food. Because Jesus said, come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest. So having been in the lonely place of the boat, now what was time for them to go ashore to that lonely place that wasn't so lonely anymore, to minister, to minister. And as we leave this place and go to other reaches of the shore, there we're going to see people who need the same thing.
