disciples came to
him, saying, This
is a desert place,
and the time is now
past; send the
multitude away,
that they may go
into the villages,
and buy them-
selves victuals.
16 But Jesus said
unto them, They
need not depart;
give ye them to eat.
17 And they say
unto him, We have
here but five loa-
ves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring
them hither to me.
19 And he com-
manded the multi-
tude to sit down on
the grass, and took
the five loaves, and
the two fishes, and
looking up to
heaven, he blessed,
and brake, and
gave the loaves to
his disciples, and
the disciples to the
multitude.
20 And they did
all eat, and were
filled: and they
took up of the frag-
ments that re-
mained twelve
baskets full.
21 And they that
had eaten were
about fivethousand
men, beside women
and children.

moved with compassion toward
them, because they were as sheep
not having a shepherd: and he
began to teach them many
things.
35 And when the day was
now far spent, his disciples came
unto him, and said, This is a
desert place, and now the time
is far passed:
36 Send them away, that they
may go into the country round
about, and into the villages,
and buy themselves bread: for
they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto
them, Give ye them to eat. And
they say unto him, Shall we go
and buy two hundred penny-
worth of bread, and give them
to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How
many loaves have ye? go and see.
And when they knew, they say,
Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them
to make all sit down by com-
panies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks,
by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the
five loaves and the two fishes, he
looked up to heaven, and blessed,
and brake the loaves, and gave
them to his disciples to set be-
fore them; and the two fishes
divided he among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and
were filled.
43 And they took up twelve
baskets full of the fragments,
and of the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of
the loaves were about five
thousand men.

day began to wear
away, then came the
twelve, and said unto
him, Send the multi-
tude away, that they
may go into the towns
and country round
about, and lodge, and
get victuals: for we
are here in a desert
place.
13 But he said unto
them, Give ye them
to eat. And they said,
We have no more but
five loaves and two
fishes; except we
should go and buy
meat for all this
people.
14 For they were
about five thousand
men. And he said to
his disciples, Make
them sit down by
fifties in a company.
15 And they did
so, and made them
all sit down.
16 Then he took
the five loaves and
the two fishes, and
looking up to heaven,
he blessed them, and
brake, and gave to
the disciples to set
before the multi-
tude.
17 And they did
eat, and were all
filled: and there
was taken up of
fragments that
re-
mained to them
twelve baskets.

6 And this he said to
prove him: for he himself
knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him,
Two hundred pennyworth
of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one
of them may take a
little.
8 One of his disci-
ples, Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother, saith
unto him,
9 There is a lad here,
which hath five barley
loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they
among so many?
10 And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down.
Now there was much
grass in the place. So the
men sat down, in number
about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the
loaves; and when he had
given thanks, he distri-
buted to the disciples,
and the disciples to them
that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes as
much as they would.
12 When they were
filled, he said unto his
disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain,
that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they ga-
thered them together,
and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of
the five barley loaves,
which remained over
and above unto them
that had eaten.
