Jerusalem Bible: 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.
Comment: Come Holy Spirit. If we imitate Jesus we must prioritize our issues and evangelism, compassion and charity towards others should come first, but sometimes we want to relax, we wan to do our affairs, Jesus withdrew to pray, but if he saw a need attending to, priority for him were the sheep. That the Lord Jesus have mercy on us and attend all our needs and give us the strength to carry out his purpose to bring the gospel throughout the world .
