* And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done . And he took them and withdrew apart into [a desert place of ] a city called Bethsaida . * But the crowds knowing [it ] followed him ; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God , and cured those that had need of healing . * But the day began to decline , and the twelve came and said to him , Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around , and [into ] the fields , and lodge and find victuals , for here we are in a desert place . * And he said to them , Give ye them to eat . And they said , We have not more than five loaves and two fishes , unless we should go and buy food for all this people ; * for they were about five thousand men . And he said to his disciples , Make them sit down in companies by fifties . * And they did so , and made them all sit down . * And taking the five loaves and the two fishes , looking up to heaven he blessed them , and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd . * And they all ate and were filled ; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets .
