Feeding the Five Thousand

Luke 9:10-17
10And the apostles returned and related fully to him all that they had done, and taking them he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida. 11But the crowds, when they knew it, followed him, and receiving them he was speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and he was healing those who had need of healing. 12Now the day began to decline, and the twelve came near and said to him, Release the crowd, so that going into the surrounding villages and fields they may lodge and find food, because we are here in a deserted place. 13But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all this people." 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each. 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they ate and were satisfied, and what remained to them was taken up, twelve baskets of fragments.
