tcent - Mark:6:30-44

tcent@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

tcent@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, »Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.« For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:32 @ So they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

tcent@Mark:6:33 @ But many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them.

tcent@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

tcent@Mark:6:35 @ When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, »This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

tcent@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away, so they can go to the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves something to eat.«

tcent@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, »You give them something to eat.« And they said to him, »Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?«

tcent@Mark:6:38 @ But he said to them, »How many loaves do you have? Go and see.« And when they found out they said, »Five, and two fish.«

tcent@Mark:6:39 @ Then he commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

tcent@Mark:6:40 @ So they sat down in groups, of hundreds and fifties.

tcent@Mark:6:41 @ And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

tcent@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

tcent@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

tcent@Mark:6:44 @ Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.
