Malachi 4

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Back to Bible
1 He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while"β€”for there were many [people who were continually] coming and going, and they could not even find time to eat.
2 And they went away by themselves in the boat to a secluded place.
3 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.
4 When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd [waiting], and He was moved with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd [lacking guidance]; and He began to teach them many things.
5 When the day was nearly gone, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is an isolated place, and it is already late;
6 send the crowds away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
