Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

Matthew 14:13-21

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.

And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

Feeding the Five Thousand

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now passed: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.

They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.

Who said to them: Bring them hither to me.

And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.

And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
