Mark 6:32-44

321And they went away in 2the boat to a secluded place by themselves. 33The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them. 34When Jesus went 3ashore, He 4saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because 5they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. 35And when it was already late, His disciples came up to Him and said, “6This place is secluded and it is already late; 36send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves 7something to eat.” 37But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” 8And they said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred 910denarii on bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39And He ordered them all to recline by groups on the green grass. 40They reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He 11blessed the food and broke the loaves and He gave them to the disciples again and again to set before them; and He divided the two fish among them all. 42And they all ate and were satisfied; 43and they picked up twelve full 12baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish. 44There were 13five thousand 14men who ate the loaves.
