Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat
privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds
followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed
and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their
sick.


15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and
said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late.
Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy
themselves some food.”


16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. 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,” he said. 19 And he
directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five
loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks
and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the
disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and
were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of
broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those
who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
