30And the apostles assembled to Jesus and announced to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.31And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a little, for many were coming and going and they had no opportunity even to eat."32And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.33And many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried on foot from all the cities and arrived ahead of them.34And when he went out he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.35And by now the hour was already late, so his disciples came to him and said, The place is deserted and the hour is already late.36Send them away so that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.37But he answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"38And he said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And after they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."39And he commanded them to have everyone recline in groups for the meal on the green grass.40And they reclined in groups of hundreds and groups of fifties.41And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; he also divided the two fish among them all.42And they all ate and were satisfied.43And they collected twelve basketfuls of broken pieces and of the fish.44And those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.
