33
And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.
34
And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.
35
And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:
36
Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.
37
But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?
38
And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.
39
And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.
40
And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
41
And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.
42
And they all took of the food and had enough.
43
And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.
