Contextual Overview
30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught. 31 And he saith unto them - Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity. 32 And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart. 33 And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, - and outwent them. 34 And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things. 35 And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour: 36 dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat. 37 But, he, answering said to them - Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him - Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give them to eat? 38 And, he, saith unto them - How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say - Five, and, two fishes. 39 And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them,.... After he had heard their account, was satisfied with it, and approved of what they had said and done:
come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: where they might be free from noise and hurry, and take some rest and refreshment, after their wearisome journey, hard labours, and great fatigue in preaching and working miracles; which shows the great compassion, tenderness, and care of Christ, for his disciples:
for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat; the people were continually going to and fro; as soon as one company was gone, who came with their sick and diseased to be healed, or upon one account or another, another came: so that there was no opportunity of private meditation and prayer, nor of spiritual converse together: nor even so much as to eat a meal's meat for the refreshment of nature.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A desert place - A retired place, across the sea from Capernaum, where they would be free from interruption.
There were many coming and going - Coming to be healed and retiring, or coming to hear him preach. It means that they were âthronged,â or that there was a vast multitude attending his preaching.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 31. Rest a while — Rest is necessary for those who labour; and a zealous preacher of the Gospel will as often stand in need of it as a galley slave.
