Matthew 14:13-21

131NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 about John, He withdrewG402 from thereG1564 in a boatG4143 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117 by HimselfG2398; and when the 2peopleG3793 heardG191 of this, they followedG190 Him on footG3979 from the citiesG4172. 14When He wentG1831 3ashoreG1831, He 4sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793, and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for them and 5healedG2323 their sickG732.

15When it was eveningG3798, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “ThisG3588 placeG5117 is desolateG2048 and the hourG5610 is alreadyG2235 6lateG3928; soG3767 sendG630 the crowdsG3793 awayG630, that they may goG565 into the villagesG2968 and buyG59 foodG1033 for themselvesG1438.” 16But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “They do not needG5532 to goG565 awayG565; you giveG1325 them something to eatG2068!” 17They saidG3004 to Him, “We haveG2192 hereG5602 onlyG3756G1487G3361 7fiveG4002 loavesG740 and twoG1417 fishG2486.” 18And He saidG3004, “BringG5342 them hereG5602 to Me.” 19OrderingG2753 the 8peopleG3793 to 9sitG347 downG347 on the grassG5528, He tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 and the twoG1417 fishG2486, and lookingG308 up towardG1519 heavenG3772, He 10blessedG2127 the food, and breakingG2806 the loavesG740 He gaveG1325 them to the disciplesG3101, and the disciplesG3101 gave them to the crowdsG3793, 20and they allG3956 ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526. They pickedG142 up whatG3588 was leftG4052 overG4052 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801, twelveG1427 fullG4134 11basketsG2894. 21There were aboutG5616 fiveG4000 thousandG4000 menG435 who ateG2068, besidesG5565 womenG1135 and childrenG3813.
