:Mark 6:34b and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

This form of collating the texts of the Four Gospels has much to recommend it as a means of studying and understanding their relationship, and their fundamental unity as reliable textual witnesses to the person, mission, and ministry of Jesus Christ. Students of scripture have often benefited from such a project as an exercise of [[Christian apologetics]], which can be a help to affirm the reasonableness of their faith, and enrich their hearing and reading of the canonical Gospels in public worship and in private devotion. Others find this particular collated form of ''Harmony'' difficult and distracting to read, and they prefer a smoother blending of the texts of the Gospels into a single, unified narrative for ease of reading and understanding, as presented here by way of example in this illustrative encyclopedic ''Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version)''.

:Now when Jesus heard this, the apostles, when they returned, gathered themselves together to Jesus; the apostles told him what things they had done, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had Taught.
:He said to them, “You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile.”
:For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
:He took them and withdrew from there in a boat. They went away in the boat to go to a deserted place apart by themselves, to a city called Bethsaida, to a desert region of the Jordan, west of the city, which is situated across from it on the east side, the other side of the Jordan river; from Capernaum a distance of about seven miles. But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities. They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him at an open and deserted area on the western side of the Jordan river.
:Jesus came out, and he saw a great multitude. Jesus went out, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. He welcomed them, and he began to Teach them many things, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and healed their sick, and he cured those who needed healing.
