Luke 9:10–17

¹⁰And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida, ¹¹and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured. ¹²And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, ‘Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.’ ¹³And he said unto them, ‘Give ye them to eat;’ and they said, ‘We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;’ ¹⁴for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, ‘Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;’ ¹⁵and they did so, and made all to recline; ¹⁶and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude; ¹⁷and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
