31 And he said to them, "Come away to some lonely spot and get a little rest" (for there were many people coming and going, and they could get no time even to eat).
32 So they went away privately in the boat to a lonely spot.
33 However a number of people who saw them start and recognized them, got to the place before them by hurrying there on foot from all the towns.
34 So when Jesus disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them, as they were like sheep without a shepherd, he proceeded to teach them at length.
35 Then, as the day was far gone, his disciples came up to him, saying, "It is a desert place and the day is now far gone;
36 send them off to the farms and villages round about to buy some food for themselves."
37 He replied, "Give them some food, yourselves." They said, "Are we to go and buy ten pounds' worth of food and give them that to eat?"
38 He said, "How many loaves have you got? Go and see." When they found out they told him, "Five, and two fish."
39 Then he gave orders that they were to make all the people lie down in parties on the green grass;
40 so they arranged themselves in groups of a hundred and of fifty;
41 and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he blessed them, broke the loaves in pieces which he handed to the disciples to set before them, and divided the two fish among them all.
42 They all ate and had enough;
43 besides, the fragments of bread and of fish which were picked up filled twelve baskets.
44 (The number of men who ate the loaves was five thousand.)
