Luke 9:12-17 Now as the day began to decline the twelve came up to him and said, "Send the crowd off to lodge in the villages and farms around and get provisions there, for here we are in a desert place."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Now as the day began to decline the twelve came up to him and said, "Send the crowd off to lodge in the villages and farms around and get provisions there, for here we are in a desert place." ¹³ He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They said, "We have only got five loaves and two fish. Unless — are we to go and buy food for the whole of this people?" ¹⁴ (There were about five thousand men of them.) He said to his disciples, "Make them lie down in rows of about fifty." ¹⁵ They did so, and made them all lie down. ¹⁶ Then taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven he blessed them, broke them in pieces and handed them to the disciples to set before the crowd. ¹⁷ And they all ate and had enough. What they had left over was picked up, twelve baskets full of fragments.
