Mark 6:34-44

34When Jesus went 1ashore, He 2saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because 3they 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, “4This 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 5something to eat.” 37But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” 6And they said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred 78denarii 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 9blessed 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 10baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish. 44There were 11five thousand 12men who ate the loaves.
