36Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

36Send the crowds away so that they can go to the neighboring farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

37But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

37But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"
