Matthew 14:14-21 He saw the great crowd, had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ He saw the great crowd, had compassion on them, and healed their sick. ¹⁵ Evening came and the disciples approached Jesus and said: »This place is desolate. Send the people away so they may go to the villages and buy themselves food.« ¹⁶ Jesus told them: »They have no need to go away: you feed them.« ¹⁷ They remarked: »We have only five loaves, and two fishes.« ¹⁸ »Bring them to me,« Jesus replied. ¹⁹ He commanded the crowd to sit down on the grass. Then he prayed. He gave the five loaves and two fishes to the disciples to distribute to the crowd. ²⁰ And they all had plenty to eat. In fact they had twelve baskets full of food left over. ²¹ About five thousand men, plus women and children ate.
