¹ About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, ² and he said to his courtiers, "This is John the Baptist: he has come back to life--and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."

³² But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat.

³⁰ When the Apostles had re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all they had done and all they had taught. ³¹ Then He said to them, "Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile."

"Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?" ³⁸ "How many loaves have you?" He inquired; "go and see." So they found out, and said, "Five; and a couple of fish." ³⁹ So He directed them to make all sit down in companies on the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties. ⁴¹ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food.

¹⁰ The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida. ¹¹ But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured. ¹² Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district." ¹³ "You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people." ¹⁴ (For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each." ¹⁵ They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down. ¹⁶ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people. ¹⁷ So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.

¹ After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is, the Lake of Tiberias). ² A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles on the sick which He was constantly performing. ³ Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples. ⁴ The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand. ⁵ And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?" ⁶ He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew what He was going to do. ⁷ "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal." ⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, ⁹ "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?" ¹⁰ "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were resting on the ground; and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired. ¹² When all were fully satisfied, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the broken portions that remain over, so that nothing be lost." ¹³ Accordingly they gathered them up; and with the fragments of the five barley loaves--the broken portions that remained over after they had done eating--they filled twelve baskets. ¹⁴ Thereupon the people, having seen the miracle He had performed, said, "This is indeed the Prophet who was to come into the world." ¹⁵ Perceiving, however, that they were about to come and carry Him off by force to make Him a king, Jesus withdrew again up the hill alone by Himself.
