13 And Jesus hearing it, withdrew thence by ship into a desert place apart: but when the people heard thereof, they followed him by land out of the cities.

14 And going forth he saw a great multitude, and was moved with tender compassion for them, and healed their sick.

15 And in the evening his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past: send the multitude away, that going into the villages, they may buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said to them, They need not go: give ye them to eat.

17 They say to him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass;

19 and taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they all ate and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand, beside women and children.
