Mark 6:30-44

Murdock(i) 30 And the legates assembled before Jesus, and told him all they had done, and all they had taught. 31 And he said to them: Come, let us go into a desert by ourselves, and rest a little. For there were many going and coming, and they had not opportunity even to eat bread. 32 And they went by ship to a desert place by themselves. 33 But many saw them, as they departed, and knew them; and from all the cities, they ran thither by land before him. 34 And Jesus disembarked and saw great multitudes: and he compassionated them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the time was advanced, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is advanced. 36 Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into the villages, and may buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. 37 And he said to them: Give ye them to eat. They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat? 38 And he said to them: Go, see how many loaves ye have here. And when they had seen, they say to him: Five loaves and two fishes. 39 And he bid them make the people recline on the grass by companies. 40 And they reclined, by companies of a hundred, and of fifty. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they divided also the two fishes among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were satisfied. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes. 44 And they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
