Feeding the Five Thousand
30 aThen the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31 aAnd He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For bthere were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 aSo they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.
33 But1 the multitudes saw them departing, and many aknew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.
34 aAnd Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like bsheep not having a shepherd. So cHe began to teach them many things.
35 aWhen the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves1 bread; for they have nothing to eat.”
37 But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, a“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38 But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they found out they said, a“Five, and two fish.”
39 Then He acommanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.
41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He alooked up to heaven, bblessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.
42 So they all ate and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.
44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were1 about five thousand men.
Jesus Walks on the Sea
45 aImmediately He1 made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.
46 And when He had sent them away, He adeparted to the mountain to pray.
