Mark 6:33-36
33 But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. 35 When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
People ran after Jesus to be taught and fed. He showed compassion for both - He taught them of the kingdom of God (by faith and repentance with self control as Paul told a king in Acts) and fed them out of a seemingly insignificant amount of food. Jesus gave them more substantial manna, meeting their needs just enough to satisfy. So He does for us, and so we also hunger for more, trusting His supply.
