Luke 9:10–17

¹⁰And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into a desert place of a city called Bethsaida. ¹¹But the crowds knowing it followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing. ¹²But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place. ¹³And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people; ¹⁴for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties. ¹⁵And they did so, and made them all sit down. ¹⁶And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd. ¹⁷And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.
