Luke 9:4-14

4 And whatsoever * house ye enter into, there abide , and thence depart .

5 And whosoever * will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6 And they departed , and went through the towns, preaching the gospel , and healing every where.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed , because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

8 And of some, that Elias had appeared ; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again .

9 And Herod said , John have I beheaded : but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

10 And the apostles, when they were returned , told him all that they had done . And he took them, and went aside privately * into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

12 And when the day began to wear away , then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away , that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge , and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat . And they said , We have no * more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
