This is a direct quotation. It can be stated as an indirect quotation: “told Jesus that it was late and there are no towns nearby. So they asked him to send the people away so they could go get something to eat.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

# Send the people away
|
||
|
||
This could be translated as, “Please tell the people to go to a town” or, “Shouldn’t you tell the people to go somewhere?” or, “Let the people go to a town.” Make sure it sounds like a polite request, not an order.
