Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary
place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
14 When
Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their
sick.
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote
place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the
villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said.
19 And he directed the people to sit down on the
grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave
thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples
gave them to the people.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked
up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21 The number of those
who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
