Feeding the Five Thousand

10

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.

11

Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing.

12

Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.

13

But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude.

14

Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15

And they did so and made them all sit down.

16

And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

17

And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
