Bible Verses About The Miracles of Christ: The multitude fed

As evening approached, the talmidim came to him and said, "This is a remote place and it's getting late. Send the crowds away, so that they can go and buy food for themselves in the villages."

But Yeshua replied, "They don't need to go away. Give them something to eat, yourselves!"

"All we have with us," they said, "is five loaves of bread and two fish."

He said, "Bring them here to me."

After instructing the crowds to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking up toward heaven, made a b'rakhah. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the talmidim, who gave them to the crowds.

They all ate as much as they wanted, and they took up twelve baskets full of the pieces left over.

Those eating numbered about five thousand men, plus women and children.

Yeshua called his talmidim to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me three days, and now they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry, because they might collapse on the way home."

The talmidim said to him, "Where will we find enough loaves of bread in this remote place to satisfy so big a crowd?"

Yeshua asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few fish."

After telling the crowd to sit down on the ground,

he took the seven loaves and the fish, made a b'rakhah, broke the loaves and gave them to the talmidim, who gave them to the people.

Every one ate his fill, and they took seven large baskets full of the leftover pieces.

Those eating numbered four thousand men, plus women and children.
