 Great is thy faithfulness. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All that I needed thy hand had provided. At the time this event takes place, Jesus had heard of the violent death of John, his cousin, the Baptist. And he also taught for many hours. How many of us put in Jesus' spot would have said, Why can't they just leave us alone? But that's not the way of Jesus. He didn't. He doesn't have concern for his own comfort. His care and love for us went deeper and stronger than we can ever imagine.
