“And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.”
Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here — the disciples' late-afternoon practical concern is the setup for the feeding miracle. Send the crowd away: the proposed solution is dispersal rather than provision — managing the problem by removing the people from the problem's location.
