* And Jesus , having heard it , went away thence by ship to a desert place apart . And the crowds having heard [of it ] followed him on foot from the cities . * And going out he saw a great crowd , and was moved with compassion about them , and healed their infirm . * But when even was come , his disciples came to him saying , The place is desert , and [much of ] the [day ] time already gone by ; dismiss the crowds , that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves . * But Jesus said to them , They have no need to go : give ye them to eat . * But they say to him , We have not here save five loaves and two fishes . * And he said , Bring them here to me . * And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass , having taken the five loaves and the two fishes , he looked up to heaven , and blessed : and having broken the loaves , he gave [them ] to the disciples , and the disciples [gave them ] to the crowds . * And all ate and were filled , and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full . * But those that had eaten were about five thousand men , besides women and children .
