13Then Jesus heard and withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself, and when the crowds heard they followed him on foot from the cities.14And going out he saw a large crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick.15When evening had come, the disciples came to him and said, "The place is deserted and the hour has already passed; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."16But Jesus said to them, "They have no need to go away; you give them something to eat."17They said to him, "We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish."18He said, "Bring them here to me."19And ordering the crowds to recline on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, broke them, and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.20And they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up twelve full baskets of the fragments that remained.21The men who ate were about five thousand, besides women and children.
