Luke:9:10-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the apostles returned and told him what they had done ;
and taking them with him ,
he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida .
*
But the multitudes ,
when they knew it ,
followed him ;
and he welcomed them ,
and spoke to them about the kingdom of God ,
and healed those who had need of healing .
*
And when the day began to decline ,
the twelve came and said to him ,
Send the multitude away ,
that they may go into the villages around ,
and the open country ,
and lodge ,
and get food ;
for we are here in a desert place .
*
But he said to them ,
Do ye give them food .
And they said ,
We have not more than five loaves and two fishes ,
unless we ourselves should go and buy food for l all these people .
*
They were about five thousand men .
And he said to his disciples ,
Make them lie down in companies of fifty .
*
And they did so ,
and made them all lie down .
*
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes ,
and looking up to heaven ,
he blessed them ,
and broke and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude .
*
And they ate ,
and were all filled ;
and what remained to them of fragments was taken up ,
twelve baskets .
