¹ In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them.

³² But Jesus called his disciples to him and said: "My heart yearns over the crowd, for they have been with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat. I am not willing to send them away hungry, for fear they faint on the road." ³³ "In a lonely place like this," asked the disciple. "where can we get bread enough to satisfy such a crowd?" ³⁴ "How many loaves have you?" answered Jesus. They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish. ³⁵ So when he had summoned the crowd, and seated them upon the ground, ³⁶ he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. ³⁷ And all ate and were satisfied, and of the fragments that remained they gathered seven large basketfuls. ³⁸ And those who ate numbered four thousand, besides the women and children. ³⁹ When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.

³⁴ So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. ³⁵ Then when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him and said: "This place is desert, and the day is now far spent. ³⁶ Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat." ³⁷ In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?" ³⁸ "How many loaves have you?" he answered. "Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fishes." ³⁹ Then he directed them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute. ⁴² The two fish also he divided to them all. ⁴³ All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets. ⁴⁴ Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
