* And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus , and told him all things , both what they had done , and what they had taught . * And he said unto them , Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place , and rest a while : for there were many coming and going , and they had no leisure so much as to eat . * And they departed into a desert place by ship privately . * And the people saw them departing , and many knew him , and ran afoot thither out of all cities , and outwent them , and came together unto him . * And Jesus , when he came out , saw much people , and was moved with compassion toward them , because they were as sheep not having a shepherd : and he began to teach them many things . * And when the day was now far spent , his disciples came unto him , and said , This is a desert place , and now the time is far passed : * Send them away , that they may go into the country round about , and into the villages , and buy themselves bread : for they have nothing to eat . * He answered and said unto them , Give ye them to eat . And they say unto him , Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread , and give them to eat ? * He saith unto them , How many loaves have ye ? go and see . And when they knew , they say , Five , and two fishes . * And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass . * And they sat down in ranks , by hundreds , and by fifties . * And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes , he looked up to heaven , and blessed , and brake the loaves , and gave them to his disciples to set before them ; and the two fishes divided he among them all . * And they did all eat , and were filled . * And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments , and of the fishes . * And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men .
