mnt - Mark:6:30-44

mnt@Mark:6:30 @ When the apostles had come back to Jesus, they told him all the things they had done, and all they had taught.

mnt@Mark:6:31 @ Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.

mnt@Mark:6:32 @ So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.

mnt@Mark:6:33 @ However, many saw them going, and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the neighboring towns, and arrived there first.

mnt@Mark:6:34 @ So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

mnt@Mark:6:35 @ Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said. "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent.

mnt@Mark:6:36 @ Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."

mnt@Mark:6:37 @ In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"

mnt@Mark:6:38 @ "How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

mnt@Mark:6:39 @ Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.

mnt@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.

mnt@Mark:6:41 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.

mnt@Mark:6:42 @ The two fish also he divided to them all.

mnt@Mark:6:43 @ All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.

mnt@Mark:6:44 @ Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
