* And they went away to a deserted place in the boat privately . * But the multitudes saw them going , and many recognized Him , and ran together there on foot from all the cities , and preceded them , and they came together to Him . * And when He came out , Jesus saw a large crowd , and He had compassion on them , because they were like sheep not having a shepherd . So He began to teach them many things . * And when it grew late , His disciples came to Him and said , "The place is deserted , and already the hour is late . * Dismiss them , so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food ; for they have nothing to eat ." * But answering , He said to 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 them [something ]to eat ?" * 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 ." * Then He gave orders for them all to recline in groups on the green grass . * And they reclined in parties of hundreds and of fifties . * And taking the five loaves and the two fish , looking up to heaven , He blessed and broke the loaves , and was giving [them ] to His disciples , so that they might set them before them ; and the two fish He divided to all . * So they all ate and were filled . * And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and from the fish . * Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men .
