And when Jesus went out
He saw a great multitude; and He
was moved with compassion for
them, and healed their sick.
When it was evening, His
disciples came to Him, saying,
"This is a deserted place, and
the hour is already late. Send
the multitudes away, that they
may go into the villages and buy
themselves food."
But Jesus said to them, "They do
not need to go away. You give
them something to eat." And they
said to Him, "We have here only
five loaves and two fish." He
said, "Bring them here to Me."
Then He commanded the multitudes
to sit down on the grass. And He
took the five loaves and the two
fish, and looking up to heaven,
He blessed and broke and gave
the loaves to the disciples; and
the disciples gave to the
multitudes.
So they all ate and were filled,
and they took up twelve baskets
full of the fragments that
remained. Now those who had
eaten were about five thousand
men, besides women and children.
(Matt. 14:14-21)
