Matthew 14:13-21

131Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the 2people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14When He came 3ashore, He 4saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and 5healed their sick.

15Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!” 17They said to Him, “We have nothing here except 6five loaves and two fish.” 18And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19And ordering the crowds to 7sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He 8blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full 9baskets. 21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
