[30] And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. [31] And unto them, Come yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for many coming and going, and leisure so much as to eat. [32] And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. [33] And them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and him. [34] And when he came out, much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. [35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, a desert place, and now the time is far passed: [36] them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? [38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. [39] And he commanded them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. [40] And they sat down in ranks, hundreds, and fifties. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And all eat, and were filled. [43] And they took up twelve baskets of the fragments, and of the fishes. [44] And they that did eat of the loaves five thousand men.
