35
And when the day was now far spent, His disciples came unto Him and said, "This is a desert place, and now the day is far spent.
36
Send them away, that they may go into the country round about and into the villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."
37
He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread and give them to eat?"
38
He said unto them, "How many loaves have ye? Go and see." And when they knew, they said, "Five, and two fishes."
39
And He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41
And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to Heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and He divided the two fishes among them all.
42
And they all ate and were filled.
43
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes.
44
And those who ate of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45
And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the boat, and go to the other side before Him unto Bethsaida, while He sent away the people.
