Luke:9:10-17

*
On their return the apostles told him what they had done .
And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-sa '
ida .
*
When the crowds learned it ,
they followed him ;
and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God ,
and cured those who had need of healing .
*
Now the day began to wear away ;
and the twelve came and said to him , "
Send the crowd away ,
to go into the villages and country round about ,
to lodge and get provisions ;
for we are here in a lonely place ."
*
But he said to them , "
You give them something to eat ."
They said , "
We have no more than five loaves and two fish--unless we are to go and buy food for all these people ."
*
For there were about five thousand men .
And he said to his disciples , "
Make them sit down in companies ,
about fifty each ."
*
And they did so ,
and made them all sit down .
*
And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven ,
and blessed and broke them ,
and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd .
*
And all ate and were satisfied .
And they took up what was left over ,
twelve baskets of broken pieces .
