'Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while'

Mark 6:30-34

³⁰ The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught.

³¹ And he said to them, 'Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while'; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat.

³² So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves.

³³ But people saw them going, and many recognised them; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them.

³⁴ So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.
