When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
Matthew 14:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 14.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.
14 When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
19 And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
