Matthew 14:13–23

^13mWhen Jesus heard of it, ⁿhe departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. ¹⁴And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and ^owas moved with compassion toward them, and he ^phealed their sick. ¹⁵And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and ^qthe time is now past; ^rsend the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. ¹⁶But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; ^sgive ye them to eat. ¹⁷And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. ¹⁸He said, Bring them hither to me. ¹⁹And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and ^sslooking up to heaven, ^the blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. ²⁰And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve ^ubaskets full. ²¹And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

^22wAnd straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. ²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up ^xinto a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
