Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38
And he saith unto them,
How many loaves have ye? go [and] see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39
And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42
And they all ate, and were filled.
43
And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.
44
And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45
And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.
46
And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
47
And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
