Matthew:14:13-21

*
Now when Jesus heard this ,
he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart .
But when the crowds heard it ,
they followed him on foot from the towns .
*
As he went ashore he saw a great throng ;
and he had compassion on them ,
and healed their sick .
*
When it was evening ,
the disciples came to him and said , "
This is a lonely place ,
and the day is now over ;
send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves ."
*
Jesus said , "
They need not go away ;
you give them something to eat ."
*
They said to him , "
We have only five loaves here and two fish ."
*
And he said , "
Bring them here to me ."
*
Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass ;
and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven ,
and blessed ,
and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples ,
and the disciples gave them to the crowds .
*
And they all ate and were satisfied .
And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over .
*
And those who ate were about five thousand men ,
besides women and children .
