Mark 6:30-44

Thomson(i) 30 Now the apostles come together again to Jesus, and when they had given him a full account both of what they had done, and what they had taught, 31 he said to them, Come by yourselves privately, to a solitary place, and rest yourselves a little while. For there were so many coming and going that they had not leisure even to eat. 32 So they went away by themselves, in the vessel, to a solitary place. 33 And the multitudes saw them going, and many knew the place, and ran thither by land, in. crowds, from all the cities, and got there before them, and assembled to meet him. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a great multitude, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 And the day being now far spent, his disciples came to him and said, This is a desert place, and the day is now far spent, 36 Dismiss them, that they may go to the neighbouring farms and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. 37 And he in reply, said to them, Supply them ye yourselves. Thereupon they say to him, Must we go and buy bread to the amount of two hundred deniars for them to eat. 38 He saith to them, How many loaves have you? Go and see. And having examined, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 Then he ordered them to make all the people place themselves as at table on the grass, in several companies. 40 Accordingly they arranged themselves in rows, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and having looked up to heaven, he pronounced a blessing. Then he broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them, and distributed the two fishes among them all. 42 And when they had all eaten, and were satisfied, 43 there were carried away twelve panniers full of the fragments, and the remains of the fishes. 44 Now they who had eaten of the loaves were about five thousand men.
