the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. And
when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and
laid it in a tomb.
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him
all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he
said unto them:
"Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile."
For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much
as to eat. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot
thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto

And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and
to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the
people. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
pray. And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
