Luke 9:3-17

3And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey—no walking stick, no travel bag, no bread, no money, nor even to have two shirts.

4Whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there.

5And whoever does not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.”

6So they went out and began traveling throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News and healing everywhere.

7Now Herod the tetrarch heard all that was happening. He was very confused, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,

8but others that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet from among the ancients had arisen.

9But Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he kept trying to see Him.

10When the emissaries returned, they described to Yeshua all they had done. Then He took them along and withdrew privately to a city named Bethsaida.

11But the crowds found out and followed Him. So Yeshua welcomed them and began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those in need of healing.

12Now the day began to wind down, and the twelve came and said to Yeshua, “Send the crowd away, so they might go into the nearby villages and countryside and find food and lodging; for we are in a desolate place here.”

13But Yeshua said to them, “You give them something to eat!” But they said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless we go to buy food for all these people.”

14For there were about five thousand men. Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “Have the people recline in groups of about fifty each.”

15They did so, and all reclined.

16And He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha and broke them. And He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

17Then they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of the fragments.
