* When Jesus heard it , He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself . But when the multitudes heard it , they followed Him on foot from the cities . * And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude ; and He was moved with compassion for them , and healed their sick . * When it was evening , His disciples came to Him , saying , "This is a deserted place , and the hour is already late . Send the multitudes away , that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food ." * But Jesus said to them , "They do not need to go away . You give them something to eat ." * And they said to Him , "We have here only five loaves and two fish ." * He said , "Bring them here to Me ." * Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass . And He took the five loaves and the two fish , and looking up to heaven , He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples ; and the disciples gave to the multitudes . * So they all ate and were filled , and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained . * Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men , besides women and children .
