Mark 6:30-32
Today we are reading Mark 6.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Mark 6:30-32 - The apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught. 31 And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) 32 They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.
