35 And when it grew late, His disciples came to Him and said, "The place is deserted, and already the hour is late.

36 Dismiss them, so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food; for they have nothing to eat."

37 But answering, He 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 them [something ]to eat?"

38 But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see."And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 Then He gave orders for them all to recline in groups on the green grass.

40 And they reclined in parties of hundreds and of fifties.

41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and was giving [them] to His disciples, so that they might set them before them; and the two fish He divided to all.

42 So they all ate and were filled.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and from the fish.

44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.
