Mark 6:32–44

³²and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves. ³³And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him, ³⁴and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things. ³⁵And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say,—‘The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced, ³⁶let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.’ ³⁷And he answering said to them, ‘Give ye them to eat,’ and they say to him, ‘Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries’ worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?’ ³⁸And he saith to them, ‘How many loaves have ye? go and see;’ and having known, they say, ‘Five, and two fishes.’ ³⁹And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass, ⁴⁰and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties. ⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all, ⁴²and they did all eat, and were filled, ⁴³and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes, ⁴⁴and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.
